Celebrating 19 years of 3 Chairs with 19 classic cuts

It's safe to say that Moodymann has had his fair share of funk-sampling bangers – 'I Can't Kick This Feeling When It Hits', 'Don't You Want My Love' – but it's the title track off his '98 LP 'Mahogany Brown' that gets us every time.

Freaked in a way that no one but Kenny Dixon could do, the classic sample of Walter Murphy's 'Afternoon Of A Faun' floats in and out of Detroit's signature string line while the percussion fades in and out as it pleases. With absolutely no regard for conventions, this is Moodymann at his schitzophrenic best.

The tune was so brilliant that it was repackaged as the title track for 2004's 'Black Mahogani', but we'll take this rough version any day.
