Hand On the Torch
Hand on the Torch is the debut album by British jazz-rap group Us3. It received much attention because of its mix of jazz and rap, using live jazz musicians. All samples used on the album are from old Blue Note classics: the most famous being Herbie Hancock's "Cantaloupe Island", used on the track "Cantaloop (Flip Fantasia)", which was recorded with two different music videos. In 2003, "The Ultimate Hand on the Torch" was released, including many of the songs used as sampling material on "Hand on the Torch". Hand On the Torch Hand on
