Milton Nascimento (Portuguese pronunciation: ['miwtõ nasiˈmẽtu]; born October 26, 1942) is a prominent Brazilian singer-songwriter and guitarist.

Blue Train is a studio album by John Coltrane which was released in January 1958 by Blue Note Records. Recorded at the Van Gelder Studio in Hackensack, New Jersey, it is the only Blue Note recording by Coltrane as session leader. It has been certified a gold record by the RIAA.

Shades of Blue opens with the declaration that "We are now having a little cooking session for Blue Note right here on the scene..." Madlib was afforded the opportunity to mine the crates of Blue Note. On Shades of Blue, Madlib delivers remixes and brand spanking new interpretations of Blue Note classics. Whether funking out Ronnie Foster's original "Mystic Brew" and transforming it into the "Mystic Bounce," or giving Wayne Shorter's "Footprints" a go with Yesterday's New Quintet, rest assured that Madlib's innovative sonic vocabulary will fill the ears. Other artists receiving a Madlib reimagination include Donald Byrd, Bobbi Humphrey, Bobby Hutcherson, Horace Silver, The Three Sounds and many more.

这张US3的《Hand On The Torch》，其实作为著名的酸性爵士乐团只有“Cantaloop”、“Come On Everybody”两首代表歌曲，巧合的是分别都是专辑的第一首歌。有着相同的节拍和MC，但相比较而言在此张专辑中的“Cantaloop”更为世人耳熟能详，特别是其中“Monkey…Monkey”的MC比较有意思。乐队的灵魂人物Geoff Wilkinson曾为许多乐队和艺人制作Remix，更是英国著名Pub的首席Dj，对于爵士乐谜来说Bluenote唱片公司因该不会陌生，但由于当时唱片公司发行的决大部分唱片都以Be-Bop风格为主，品种过于单一，Bluenote濒临倒闭，但US3的“Cantaloop”的以单曲形式发行后，它不但创造销售上的奇迹，更是将Bluenote倒闭的边缘拯救了回来。除了这一首歌整张专辑的可听性并不强，但对我来说是对朋友回忆的一个起点，感受一定会不一样，就算是在这次的主题专栏中自私一回！
