Legendary composer and producer David Axelrod's solo album 'Heavy Axe' is a jazz-rock opus that encapsulated the preeminent sound of the of the mid '70s. With a little help from legendary players like Johnny 'Guitar' Watson, Cannonball Adderley and George Duke, 'Heavy Axe' crisscrosses between lush funk sounds and full, round low end and majestic orchestral flourishes that made Axelrod's sonic realm a goldmine for sample-hungry hip-hop beatmakers from the '90s until today.
