"Take Me To The Mardi Gras" is a gem from Bob James' second album Two. The album is widely regarded as a jazz-funk classic (along with One, Three and BJ4). Released in 1975, the album charted at No. 2 on the U.S. Jazz Album Charts. The track, written by Paul Simon, emerged as an essential hip-hop breakbeat and has become of the most widely used samples of all-time, used more than 400 times by hip hop artists such as Jay-Z, Run-DMC, Ghostface Killah ft Method Man, Massiv Attack, Grandmaster Flash and many others.
