hey yall. its your favorite herb super producer.i asked yall for some advice for this remix project I did for verve couplw months back,... and yall had really good ideas but they were too original and I forgot that these projects are usually corny and I ended up doing the only left cause i was so late to be asked to do it.it turned out good and its only on the japanese release of the verve remixed jawn. (walter wanderly's popcorn)anyway, they tying to get at me to do one for impulse too. so im early on this and I wanted to choose one that was interesting - as far as sounds or something that you guys would be feeling like playing out, but it isnt really like that yet ... tom scott - today comes to mind but I doubt that would be available cause impulse doesnt own it and they gay.but if you have any ideas that wouldnt be so obvious. go aheador you can just diss me. either one. just make it funny.

Nail some of that Sun Ra "Magic City" or "Atlantis" shit or go balls out and take on "The Creator Has A Master Plan".
Be a real high powered remix hero and choose Ayler, like "Music Is The Healing Force Of The Universe" or "Universal Indians".

Shit where to start with this shit. You got like a zillion ill Coltrane LPs (Alice and John). Some Ptah shit would be tight. Interstellar Space has got some hard as shit drumming on it. You got Marion Brown - Sweet Earth Flying has this beautiful opening organ that is all mystical that record is so ill oh man. You got a bunch of Shepp but not my favorite shit by him. But that Juju joint is on Impulse, Cry of My People as well. Does ABC/Impulse make a difference? Those Gato Barbieri in Latin America LPs are super nice. Chico Hamilton of course. Dude it's so hot in my apartment I'm straight dying my brain can't do this shit my records are so far away. Shit uhh oh shit Ayler Love Cry and you can do some shit with Milford Graves' drums
There is a dude I see around at free jazz shows with an Impulse tattoo shit is serious

hi-
I think you should remix a song on impulse that has personal significance for you.
it will come across better on the remix cd/lp if you chose a song that means something to you because you'll actually enjoy making the track. If you don't have one, just leave it alone.
the biggest reason why most jazz remix albums are corny is because there are too many unknowledgeable remix artists chosen in the first place. Also, what can you possibly do to make a 60's avant/free jazz piece better on a computer? Cut up the drums and loop a muted trumpet riff? Please no.
i just don't understand why Impulse would want to do a remix album anyway. The last thing they should want is to water down their catalogue.
If you want to do something significant, tell Impulse records that they should hold off from doing a remix project all together. At least that way the original songs will keep their integrity and Impulse will stand out in the market for NOT doing a corny remix project.

dude are you serious???
Impulse does not exist anymore in the format you imagined it to be. Please throw these romantic notions out the window and focus on the realitly of today. Creed Taylor ain't sitting in the office drawing up plans for a remix album, it's a corporate decision. Either you like it or not music is about commerce. I personally don't mind these remix projects, albeit I do agree most of the tracks end up being a waste of time. That doesn't mean they're not beneficial for the original music itself. The 21 yr old hipster girl who's into RJD2 and dip-ro gets hipped to Impulse, perhaps broadening her musical horizons. That's a good thing no? Generally speaking, these releases are accompanied by a 2nd cd with original versions, often at a lowered price.
Secondly, so what if they're unknowledgable? An untrained perspective might breath new life into a song. I don't expect a producer to have an intimate knowledge of session info or whether he sampled the og RVG mono pressing. That's just bringing unnecessary beat digging snobbery into it. These people aren't taking this as a piss in the wind either just because they lack "your" knowledge. They're probably curious and genuinely interested in discovering the Impulse catalogue. Lack of knowledge does not equate ignorance, you have to give people a chance to learn.
Slighty more on topic.......I think the best remix I've heard so far in this grouping is the Mark de-Clive Lowe rework of Shirley Horn's "Return to Paradise". It fits the description of the topic at hand, breathing new life into a track and making it danceable.
I'll have to check it out.
If no one else has done it, how about Pharoah Sanders' "The Creator Has A Master Plan"?

That could be dope if done right and would be right up dip-ro's alleyhole
Killa, you're my pseudo-bol and all but that's a piece of music that people eventually formed a religon (Church of John Coltrane in SF). Not for nothing that's almost sacreligious for any producer dude to even touch.
