A Tribute to Bob James: Week 40's Theme

In this special week, the CMA community paid homage to Bob James, a jazz legend whose work has significantly influenced hip-hop producers worldwide. Known for his intricate compositions and timeless melodies, Bob James has been sampled extensively in countless tracks.

Instead of focusing on a single song this year, participants were encouraged to choose from Bob James' vast catalog, incorporating samples alongside their own instrumentation and creativity. The result? Eleven phenomenal submissions that reimagine and honor the maestro's work.

Highlights from Week 40 Submissions

TaurusBeats – The Grand Finale

Closing the episode is TaurusBeats, whose polished, band-like production leaves everyone asking for more. With his blend of jazz-inspired keys, live drum aesthetics, and creative arrangements, Taurus sets a high bar for future submissions.

So technically this is Week #2 of WHA/WHP for 2014. I had the great idea of reliving the flawless victory that was Week #2 of 2013, but with another Bob James sample. Problem is, I couldn't settle on one, so this quick became a Bob James dedication show. Every CMA member that submitted, stood up and represented. Enough talking. Press play and enjoy!

Thank you for your support.

A Bob James Dedication

For Week #40, the Weekly Homework Podcast (WHP) took a special turn: a Bob James dedication. Inspired by the incredible submissions from Week #2 of 2013, where CMA members reimagined his iconic track Nautilus, this year's challenge was even broader. Members could pick any Bob James track, sample it, and build around it with their own unique touch.

The result? A diverse and creative collection of beats that pay homage to the legendary jazz musician while showcasing the talents of the CMA community. It was incredible to see how everyone stood up and represented, making this dedication show a standout moment for CMA.

Behind the Beat

Although I use Propellerhead Reason for my creations, the tips and techniques I share in my music and tutorials can be applied in any DAW. From sample flipping to beat layering, my approach is all about expressing emotion and crafting music that tells a story.

From Sample Flip to Stadalone Music

This is one of the sample flip beats in my latest Moody instruMental Music collection "Christ Beats" available for you to download here at TaurusBeats.com. I made this for the Computer Music Academy (CMA) Weekly Homework Assignment #41.

I'm using Propellerhead Reason 6.5 and the Yamaha DJX MIDI keyboard as a controller to trigger all instrument sounds in Reason. Be sure to check out my Reason Beat Making Video Tutorials, where I show you how to make Moody instruMental Music and sample flip beats.
