David Axelrod - The Edge




Father of a thousand samples. Very interesting guy and hugely influential.

Axelrod was one of the first recording artists to fuse elements of jazz, rock, and R&B.[4] One of his most important records, Song of Innocence (1968), featured instrumental interpretations of 18th-century poet William Blake's poetry collection of the same name done in a contemporary musical vein,[5] leading one critic at the time to coin the term "jazz fusion" and numerous hip hop producers to sample the album's music decades later.[6]

Very cinematic.
