Dusty Fingers

Dusty Fingers is the name of a series of compilation albums of songs, that are widely admired as breakbeats collected by Bronx DJ Danny Dann the Beat Mann.[2] Some of the songs featured contain "open breaks" which are solo drum passages which enable DJs to easily transition into them. These are also attractive to producers, who loop or rearrange them to create new compositions. Following in the tradition of the Ultimate Breaks and Beats series, the Dusty Fingers records contain an eclectic range of musical styles: mainly funk and jazz, but also including soul, rock, disco, and pop.
