Description

[Machine Translation] A new jazz experience from London's ever-growing underground jazz scene, this London five-piece has emerged as a force to be reckoned with, with a presence that sets them apart from conventional jazz bands. The five-piece band from London has emerged as a force to be reckoned with. The organic ensemble of drums, bass, keyboards, saxophone, and trumpet creates rough grooves and calculated polyrhythms with a solid performance ability, and shows thrilling developments like a roller coaster ride. The band has just released a Japan-only CD compilation of two EPs, which were independently released by the band. The songs range from soulful songs featuring the enveloping voice of Giles Peterson's secret weapon, Zara McFarlane, to a stunning cover of Sun Ra's classic "Space Is The Place," which the band has reworked into a floor-ready version. The band's debut EP features a wide range of music, from hip-hop and hip-hop-inspired songs to a more modern take on the classic "Space Is The Place. The band's debut EP showcases the band's stamina with a wild and groovy texture rooted in hip-hop and reggae. The second EP, the second EP, pursued a more danceable direction with a more spiritual sound image. The sound of the band was recorded at Abbey Road and mixed by Sam Shepherd of Floating Points, a London-based master of sound, which is a sign of the band's commitment to sound.
Note: This is an import edition (manufactured outside of Japan).

Chapter 7 + Juan Pablo: The Philosopher / エズラ・コレクティヴ

勢いが止まらないロンドン地下ジャズシーンよりもたらされる、新たなジャズ体験。NYクイーンズを代表するレジェンド、Pharoahe Monchのバックバンドを務めたり、Boiler Roomで観客を沸かせたりと、従来のジャズバンドとは一線を画するその存在感で頭角を現してきたロンドンの5人組。ドラム、ベース、キーボード、サックス、トランペットが織り成すオーガニックなアンサンブルは、荒削りなグルーヴと計算されたポリリズムを確かな演奏能力で描き出し、まるでジェットコースターの様にスリリングな展開を見せてくれる。この度、バンドによる自主リリースのみで発表されたEP 2作をコンパイルした日本限定CDがインパートメントよりリリース。充実の楽曲群は、彼らを支持するジャイルス・ピーターソンの秘密兵器Zara McFarlaneの包み込むような歌声をフィーチャーしたソウルフルな歌ものから、バンドが敬愛するSun Raの名曲"Space Is The Place"をフロア仕様に再構築した圧巻のカヴァーまで、自由度/完成度の高いものばかり。デビューEPではヒップホップやレゲエに根差した野性味溢れるグルーヴィーな質感で、バンドの体力をアピール。持ち前の緩急の鋭さでジャズの可能性を拡張し、2作目のEPではスピリチュアルな音像を突き詰め、よりダンサブルな方向性を追及。こだわりを感じさせる音響面でも、アビーロード録音+ロンドンの誇る音の匠 Sam ShepherdことFloating Pointsがミキシングを担当するというこれ以上無い力の入れ様。
