  • The funkiest low-key turnaround ever
• Yusef Lateef - Love Theme From Spartacus (3:22-3:55)

• Freddie Hubbard - Red Clay (1:13-1:26)
  • The rest of the song is great but all you need to hear to know it's genius is the bit where the bassline starts
• Cannonball Adderly - Capricorn (0:41-1:01)
  • The first time you hear the sax theme it's like you just fed your soul some Honey Nut Cheerios

  • Not many songs start with a guitar solo
  • Pretty sure I blew out some speakers listening to the song kick in over and over again
• Visqueen - Crush on Radio (1:56-end)
  • Strip everything but the guitar riff, throw in some harmony, then go nuts
• Papas Fritas - Way You Walk (1:58-2:37)
  • Acoustic guitar solo, it grabs me by the heart for some reason (probably why the song was used in a commercial for chewing gum)

  • Guitar solo
