The ranks of jazzy drum'n'bass swelled considerably with the debut of Mocean Worker, the recording alias of jazz producer Adam Dorn. Dorn's father, Joel, was one of the stalwart producers at Atlantic Records during the 1960s and '70s, helming sessions by Coltrane and Mingus as well as pop records like Roberta Flack's "Killing Me Softly," Bette Midler's debut album, and the Allman Brothers' Idlewild South. Adam, a bass player and vocalist, studied at Berklee College of Music and worked extensively in the music industry as well, with artists ranging from David Sanborn to Hal Willner to Chaka Khan. Father and son also produced archival reissues released by their own 32 Records (the catalog also proved helpful when Dorn began sampling sources like Mahalia Jackson and Slim & Slam's Slam Stewart).
