Released in 1971 on the Chappell label, Music By Lee Mason is a standout entry in the world of library music, featuring Lee Mason & His Orchestra delivering a suite of jazz-inflected instrumentals with a cool, cinematic sensibility. The album sits at the intersection of jazz and stage & screen sounds, making it a compelling listen that has resonated well beyond its original purpose.
Perhaps most notably, Madlib sampled the album's "Shady Blues" for his 1999 Lootpack track "Answers," a testament to the depth and groove that runs throughout these recordings. The remaining instrumentals are equally rich, making Music By Lee Mason a genuine discovery for rare groove enthusiasts and fans of creative, sample-worthy jazz from the early 1970s.
