And I quoth:

Reuben Wilson & Others -- Boogaloo To The Beastie Boys . . . CD (Item: 357705)

Scrufflin, 2004 Condition: New Copy

A rich set of funky jazz workouts of Beastie Boys tunes from B-3 legend Reuben Wilson -- leading a wonderful quartet with Andrew Beal on sax, Doug Munro on guitar and LaFrae Olivia Sci on the kit! The groove runs from laidback and lightly funky, to midtempo 70s cop show soul, to straight up deep funk riffery -- done in a way that lets Reuben and crew jam however they're feeling it -- and not always corresponding the style the Beasties sampled and/or played on their own recordings! The set list is deep and surprising, too -- cuts like "Namaste", "Hey Ladies" and "Something's Got To Give" (featuring Bernie Worrell on Rhodes) are ripe for this kind of interpretation -- but tracks like "Cookie Puss", "Egg Raid On Mojo" and "Intergalactic" -- original compositions that ranged from punk, to electro, to just plain manic -- are adapted just as strongly to funky jazz. Other tunes include "Sabotage", "Shadrach" and "Shake Your Rump".

The In Sound From Way Out is great. First rap recording I ever bought - one without words. Paul's Boutique - best rap recording ever that's not named Fear of a Black Planet.
