Could jazz music be considered the predecessor to modern hip-hop and funk form? Well, potentially, and this year even Snoop Dogg gave props to Herbie Hancock as that very forefather to the rap movement.
Jazz artist's continue to lay paths into musical territory unknown, innovating the musical landscape and what it means to be "good."
And jazz hasn't faltered as of yet, and even players like Herb Alpert continue prolificacy and churn out jazz standards worthy of Grammy recognition.
But today, jazz doesn't sit at the forefront of popular music necessarily as much as it's featured in the background of some classic chart-toppers.
So thanks to the good people at WhoSampled, a top 10 list of the most synced, sampled and featured jazz tracks in the modern age has been compiled and posted for our reading pleasure.
To save all of you a trip, read below to find out which songs made the cut (with an honorable mention, too, and thanks again to WhoSampled).
