Description

[Machine Translation] This is the first album of Neo ( Neo ), a signature artist of BLACK JAZZ, a jazz label of BLACK JACK, a hot label from Marseille, southern France. The 12-inch single cut by Neo has been a hot topic this year! This is the memorable first album released in 2001 by Neo, an artist of BLACK JAZZ label, who will release his new album "WEICOM TO THE BOOM BOOM ROOM" in December. The illustrations, reminiscent of Lautrec's colors, somehow give the impression of a 21st century Montmartre in Marseille. If you hear Jazz music coming from such a store, you will want to stop by. All music. The basic Jazz set of piano, saxophone, drums, and trumpet is intertwined with some rhythms that are not too loud. Except for the vocals used on "Samplin' O," all of the songs are performed by Neo. He also arranged and composed the music by himself. He says that he created this piece with the importance of melody and harmony in mind, resulting in a classical and modern style that highlights the acoustic solo parts. The result is an electro-jazz style that distances itself from the techno scene. Two bonus tracks include the single ~x, which triggered his breakthrough. The result is an electro-jazz sound that is far removed from the technical scene.

THE STORY OF BLACKJAZZ / Neo

南フランス、マルセイユ発の注目レーベルBLACK JACKのジャズ・レーベルBLACK JAZZの看板アーティストNeo(ネオ)の記念すべき第一弾アルバム。シングルカットされた12インチは今年になって話題沸騰!★12月に新作『WEICOM TO THE BOOM BOOM ROOM』をリリースするBLACK JAZZレーベルのアーティストNeoの、2001年にリリースされた記念すべき第一弾アルバム。ロートレックの色彩を彷彿させるイラストは、なぜかマルセイユにある21世紀のモン・マルトルといった風情。こんな店からJAZZが聞こえてきたら、だれもが立ち寄りたくなってしまう。全曲。ピアノ、サックス、ドラム、トランペットといった基本的なJAZZセットに、うるさくない程度のリズムが絡んでくる。サンプリン Oで使われているヴォーカル以外はすべて、Neoによる演奏。アレンジ、作曲も彼一人で行っている。旋律とハーモニーの大切さを念頭に制作した結果、アコースティックなソロ・パートが浮き彫りとなる、クラシカルでモダンなスタイルの作品になったという。世間の流行を気にせず、自身のキャラクターを伸ばした結果、技巧に走るシーンとは距離を置く、エレクトロ・ジャズが生まれたのだ。また、ブレイクのきっかけとなった、シングル・ ~ックスも2曲ボーナストラックとして追加。ハウスとジャズを見事に融合させ、クラブ・シーンでも評価されることとなった。
