Rising Sound – Soil & 'Pimp' Sessions (J)
Jazz shock in the bowels of the A38: storming Japanese tsunami jazz, genuine pogo jazz performed by six musicians from the Far East. Hard-bop, swing, funk and punk, it’s all the same, just knock down that audience! The unmissable jazz happening of the year!
Soil & 'Pimp' Sessions is the undertaking of six completely crazy Japanese during which they experiment in order to prove that jazz, funk and punk all derive from the very same root. The greatest nu-jazz initiative of the last few years combines the hardest hard-bop and swing with the clubs’ muggy atmosphere, boundless energy and shattered wind solos with a loose and cool ambient. It’s made for dance, it’s revolutionary and profound at the same time: this is Soil & 'Pimp' Sessions, so no wonder that one of the best music experts around at the moment, Gilles Peterson, has discovered them and signed them to his own label.
