Jam

Three guys dinner jackets with masks of rabit, Chihuahua dog and Beagle dog…this strange jazz trio is the J.A.M, piano trio and consists of Josei (Piano & Keyboard), Akita Goldman (Bass), Midorin (Drums) of SOIL & "PIMP" SESSIONS. With straight ahead jazz style and simple piano trio line-ups, they draw a very different soundscape to SOIL & "PIMP" SESSIONS. They played as trio at several jazz clubs in Tokyo stealthily in the beginning. Gradually they started playing short sets in the middle of SOIL & "PIMP" SESSIONS show. In summer of 2007, J.A.M got slot at Field of Heaven stage of famous Japanese festival, Fuji Rock Festival at the last minutes due to sudden cancelation of other artist. Their performance uplifted packed audience with dazzlingly transformed piano melody on non-stop flood of rhythms. Power and torque (turning force) like jam bands, novel blinks in common with new generation of Jazz musicians like Robert Glasper who create an uplifting impression … new jazz standards are in the hands of three maestros who are obsessed by jazz. The album goes beyond the limitations of each musical genre such as Jazz , Club music, Jam music with such an tracks like "Jazzy Joint featuring Jose James" featuring uprising Jazz vocalist Jose James on vocal / scat, "In The Sea", a break beat track with Scratches by DJ Mitsu The Beats, "New Things"- a Latin Jazz House track played by manpower alone, plys tracks like "Quiet Fire" and "Quiet Passion" in which they move Straight-ahead Jazz to the next phase with high speed and a strong attack, "Identity Breaker" , track with the very "Electro" bass riff harmonics. An amazing debut album …
