Nujabeemplicious consists of 20 tracks that have been sampled by the late great Jun Seba, better known as Nujabes. Think of classic material by jazz legends like Ahmad Jamal, Miles Davis and Yusef Lateef, the beautiful soul song “We The People Who Are Darker Than Blue” by Curtis Mayfield, and dusty originals from Brazil and France. This selection is only the tip of the iceberg when it comes to music sampled by Nujabes, so we can only hope for more editions of Nujabeemplicious.
