About David Axelrod
As an in-house producer for Capitol Records, David Axelrod first garnered notoriety in the mid 1960s thanks to his innovative approach to recording the famed jazz and R&B figures Cannonball Adderley and Lou Rawls. Axelrod released several solo albums of strikingly innovative acid-tinged jazz-fusion in the 1970s, but wallowed in obscurity until his music was rediscovered by crate-digging hip-hop producers and DJs in search of obscure beats and samples. His production and composition styles have had such a profound effect on hip-hop luminaries such as DJ Shadow and Dr. Dre (among many others) that it's not a stretch to say that hip-hop wouldn't sound like it does today without David Axelrod.
