HORN RIFFS FOR DJ’S – COVER (1993) (Design: Debayan Lauren | Photography: Red Leenhard) Previous volumes for the Tuff City label featured the great Maceo Parker and Fred Wesley on saxophone. Here, tenor sax-man Dewey Redman, more associated with free and avant-garde jazz, offers up 6 funky solos for DJ’s to utilize in their sets. The label produced many of these “Riff” records, featuring guitars and keyboards also, primarily in the hopes of what sampling promised: legit royalties or compensation from copyright lawsuits.
