A Long Walk (Dodge Remix Pt. 1)
A Long Walk (A Touch of Jazz Remix)
Jill Scott
12″ Single, 2001

This record is on loan from DJ Firewheel. The Dodge Mix is a bit of a guilty gratifying pleasure. I’m a lover of Jill Scott, or let me rephrase, a lover of Who Is Jill Scott? Words and Sounds Vol. 1 (and a few other songs) but there is very little of her’s that I can play in the middle of a DJ gig because it’s so mellow. The Dodge Mix is the strongest beat I’ve heard under her voice this side of “It’s Love,” plus it has a little Jodeci “Come & Talk To Me” interpolation…yeah, that’s good clean fun.

The Touch of Jazz Mix has appeared a few places before, including the Red Star Sounds, Vol. 1: Soul Searching compilation (not recommended for purchase) in 2001 and there was an interesting Jill Scott vs Jazzanova “A Long Walk (A Touch Of Jazz Mix) vs L.O.V.E. Beats” re-remix that appeared on Jazzanova’s …Mixing compilation in 2004. It’s probably the “better” mix musically but it’s, of course, as relaxing as the original. I love the chord/bell that comes in at 1:09.
