As he had done throughout his career - from bebop to cool jazz, from hard bop to jazz fusion - Davis once again moved towards the music of the moment, this time embracing hip-hop at the suggestion of Russell Simmons. Working with producer \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003eEasy Mo Bee\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e, who hadalready collaborated with Big Daddy Kane and would later produce Notorious B.I.G.'s Ready to Die, Davis recorded six completed pieces in a single month before his declining health and eventual passing in September 1991. Easy Mo Bee completed the album, building and sampling around those recordings and contributing vocals to three of the nine final tracks. The resulting sound draws on R\u0026amp;B, funk, new jack swing and acid jazz, with Davis's muted trumpet providing sharp, adventurous lines over Easy Mo Bee's contemporary production. The album's sampling palette ranges widely - \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003eJames Brown, Donald Byrd, KC and the Sunshine Band, Slick Rick\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e and even the theme from \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe Andy Griffith Show\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cspan\u003e all appear. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ci\u003eDoo-Bop\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cspan\u003e predated Guru's \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ci\u003eJazzmatazz as one of the earliest direct collaborations between a hip-hop artist and a jazz musician - polarising on release, it went on to win the 1993 Grammy Award for Best R\u0026amp;B Instrumental Performance.
