I remember playing Gta IV, and I got to the mission where the main character goes to Algonquin (Manhattan NYC) and turning on the radio and listening to this as I crossed the Brooklyn Bridge. It was so surreal and the song was so perfect that I thought it was a part of the original soundtrack. What a coincidence
I discovered this the old-school way. I walked into a second-hand vinyl shop back in 1997 and heard a piece of music that literally stopped me in my tracks. It was like a mixture between John Barry, Coltrane (Song of the Underground Railroad) and the best hip hop. This was then followed by Mystic Brew by Ronnie Foster, and Tropicola by Stringtronics. The shop assistant had been blasting out Mighty Mellow Vol. 1. Suffice to say, I bought the album right there and then, and the majestic Holy Thursday remains a favourite to this day.
That is the BEST way to discover music - and I'll take those others as suggestions. We have a love for this in common, you mayve introduced me to my next favorites - Thank You. 🖤
Makes me wish I wasn't born in 1990 so I could have experienced this, but I'll take my discovery from GTA IV as a good way to find this later in life and still enjoy it just as much.
0:00 Lil Wayne - Dr. Carter 1:49 The Beatnuts - Hit Me With That & Joey Bada$$ - Righteous Minds 2:43 Pete Rock and InI - Think Twice 2:15 Deda and Pete Rock - Nasty Scene I’m definitely going to add more but this just shows how many classic hip hop songs have sampled this masterpiece
the "think twice" moment from InI is always giving me goosebumps even 25 years later it's one of these too rare and too short moments of absolute perfection. Not surprising Pete Rock used it. Axelrod is a like a muse to him
15 years ago my life was consumed by record collecting and reading Wax Poetic journal like it was my bible. it’s awesome to see a new generation get turned on to Axelrod by a video game.
This one my favourite instrumental recordings ever. It's so of it's time it's awesome. It's amazingly well arranged. Powerful and sensitive and passionate. That whole album is a masterpiece. Axelrod FTW. Luv and Peace.
Yep, if you play them back-to-back, it has almost the same drum pattern, bass, structure and orchestration. I'm glad they did show this awesome tune some respect by including it in GTAIV
Damn I just found out about this man today & very sad to hear he passed away. This is a masterpiece. So many producers used this song for samples like pete rock & buckwild.i must find more of his work if it's as great as this song is. R.I.P. David Axelrod
Prince never collabo with other artists because he said he doesnt sample but play original music. I respected him for that and i will forever do but if it wasnt for Hip Hop for me, i will have never known about David Axelrod, Nina Simone amongst others...can you image someone from Africa loving all this, God bless
Christian charles Wayne did his thing for sure- but Fat Joe murdered this beat back in '95! Check out "Bronx Keeps Creating It", you won't be disappointed

Just to set it straight.. First ones to do it: Beatnuts w. "Hit Me With That". The Beatnuts were the first to dig up and utilize Axelrod, bunch of NY-cats followed suit short after. But, uhm, sampling is fun and all, but who really cares when this shit stands as solid as it does. I find myself vibing out to this, once again :)
Mathias And in 1995 pete rock with think twice . He actually sampled tons of axelrod's magical few seconds. From 2:42 ......these 10 seconds are absolute pure and perfect perfection

Mee too. Smoking a fat one sitting on the couch looking out the window. Thinking of of old girlfriends. ✌🏽
I had the same experience with this and a band called Gong.
This isn't just music, it is an out-of-body-experience
Totally agree!
Ayinde Stevens Agree as well!
Can't believe he died RIP
Agreed. It's something else.

Preciate this RZA Wu-Tang series
The original will always be the best. Every time.
This sounds like Manhattan Island at sunrise.
As a New Yorker it is!
+SuperEyesMF always reminds me of a clear day in San Francisco
As I never was in America, for me it is clearly Liberty City or San Fierro sunrise :)

How the hell did I relate to that? Lol
Good morning Dr.Carter.
Dope bro!
15 years ago my life was consumed by record collecting and reading Wax Poetic journal like it was my bible. it’s awesome to see a new generation get turned on to Axelrod by a video game.
Carol Kaye,y'all! RIP Mr. Axelrod. This track got LOTS of airplay on the jazz station in LA. For years.
Best basslines by Carol Kaye and best drum breaks by Earl Palmer--absolutely legendary rhythm section.
This song makes me feel like I can accomplish anything
You can ❤️ from Philadelphia 🏙️
This song Holy Thursday by David Axelrod would have been in the Top 40 on the Billboard Single Charts in June of 1968.
Man, this track has it all; rock, jazz, classical...
This one my favourite instrumental recordings ever.
It's so of it's time it's awesome. It's amazingly well arranged.
Powerful and sensitive and passionate.
That whole album is a masterpiece.
Axelrod FTW.
Luv and Peace.
Shout out to the RZA and R.I.P David Axelrod.
Probably inspired the main Theme of GTA 3
+Guilhem Forey It is in GTA IV.
Yep, if you play them back-to-back, it has almost the same drum pattern, bass, structure and orchestration. I'm glad they did show this awesome tune some respect by including it in GTAIV
First time I heard it, I thought it WAS the GTA III theme.
At first I thought this said that this was probably inspired BY the gta 3 theme I was like you have to be kidding me... Lol
Some of it at the end feels like gta vice city theme too
A little after 4:00
Rza brought me here!!
I discovered David Axlerod thru Jurassic5 about 20yrs back,dude is insane...the drum and bass is there ..sooo fonky
Carol Kaye on bass and Earl Palmer on drums = one of the best rhythm sections of all time.
I've been a fan for over 30 years. This makes life worth living
Many rap artists were sampling this jazz masterpice.
Obsessed with this track, Fantastic stuff.
RIP David. A true visionary
3:35 when that electric guitar kicks in and then the horns a few seconds later is off the hook! Great stuff👍
This is art.
A sad day to lose this wonderful guy:( The world of music is a much poorer place now he is gone! Thanks for all the inspiration David- Rest In peace
3:35 Starts The Best Guitar Solo I've Ever Felt, From +1900 Songs In My Playlist.
Weird how I just decided to look this up again today, after a long time having not heard it. Rest in peace, David. Your music is timeless.
good music brought me here
Pure class and total quality..!!!!!!! Agree with the comment legend.
Fusion FM
Top 3 favorite songs from the station:
1. Gong- Heavy Tune
2. David Mccallum- The Edge
3. David Axelrod- Holy Thursday
rest in peace legend
My favorite song of all time
Deffo in my top 5 too. The atmosphere is everything.
That opening is majestic- a grand Christmas Sunset in Manhattan.
Sublime. This is a completely perfect composition. Words do not have descriptors for its majesty. Flooring. Beautiful.
Majestic.
This song will forever play in my head.
Damn I just found out about this man today & very sad to hear he passed away. This is a masterpiece. So many producers used this song for samples like pete rock & buckwild.i must find more of his work if it's as great as this song is.
R.I.P. David Axelrod
I just put it on repeat!!! Awesome!!!
I heard this back in 1975 while in college on the jazz-fusion station in Los Angeles... KUTE 102
That mustve been a auditory assault on every willing part of your body...that must've been amazing
Great song. Love the atmosphere of it.
Great man ,great visionary
A experience that is never forgotten listening to David AR
Was about to play Songs of Innocence when I realized it's Thursday. Love this so much. Had to come here, like it and add it to favorites.
Prince never collabo with other artists because he said he doesnt sample but play original music. I respected him for that and i will forever do but if it wasnt for Hip Hop for me, i will have never known about David Axelrod, Nina Simone amongst others...can you image someone from Africa loving all this, God bless
Lil Wayne “Dr. Carter” from Carter III brought me here…looked up the sample swizz beats used now I love this song…so soulful don’t you agree…
2:41 incredbile ✌️😅
just Brilliant
Thank you
Great stuff.
holy Thursday... as laid back as it gets! mmm!
Rest In Beats...
Such a great song
incredible recording...
Just Magnificent
Truth be told, Wayne did this record justice.
Christian charles Wayne did his thing for sure- but Fat Joe murdered this beat back in '95! Check out "Bronx Keeps Creating It", you won't be disappointed
he's referring to Lil Wayne
I love how it was sampled. Not much added to it, very 80ish style hip-hop beat which I love about it. It such an underrated Lil Wayne song.
Thank you LGA2DFW, I had forgotten about this one! Takes me back, Fat Joe had some great tracks back then.
Christian charles what was that lil wayne track called
This song takes me back to days not lived first hand. Will always make me think of New York and Manhattan in the 70s and I was born in ‘94.
RIP!! G.O.A.T!! Your Vision and Ear for sound and music.
One of the best to ever do it ..God bless the mighty Axe.
This should be the theme song of NYC
Wait till you hear that this is in gta iv
@@2007ghettonissanaltima Lol, Gta IV is how I found out about this song in the first place
