[RE POST][WAPPA GAPPA--A MYTH [1998]

2012-01-31T11:41:00.002-05:00

WAPPA GAPPA is a Japanese group. The line-up is: Keizo Endo (bass), Masahiro Lee (guitars), Hirishi Mineo (drums), Hideaki Nagaike (keyboards) and Tamami Yamamoto (vocals). Masahiro Lee is a new member that did not play in the first three albums. The group was founded based on the idea of bassist Keizo Endo in 1992. The music of this group is in symphonic vein and with a strong jazz tendency. Overall, the closest classification is probably fusion although there are sections in the music with no evidence of it. There are moments when the music is atmospheric and there are even some signs of popular music but the many influences work nicely together. The best way to describe the music is to imagine a mix of symphonic like PAGEANT and fusion like KENSO.

The first album "Yamatai", released in 1996, is hard to find. After this album the group signed to the French label Musea. The 2nd album "A Myth" came out in 1998. The music in this album is very good progressive with many influences. They are able to execute the different influences in a successful manner. The 3rd album "Gappa" was released in 2004 and it is similar to the predecessor. The voice of the female vocalist Tamami Yamamoto is wonderful.

WAPPA GAPPA is enjoyable Japanese progressive.

[NEW LINK][SPECIAL] PETER FERNANDES--THE NEW ME [2011]

2012-01-26T00:28:00.000-05:00

Here is a brand new release from him. Some of you have been lucky to hear it before. Now it is officially released,[I'll post the link]. Very nice jazz/fusion instrumental release. Let's support the artists..
LINK FOR PURCHASE--http://www.cdbaby.com/cd/peterfernandes1

Peter Fernandes is a trumpet player and producer from Southeastern Massachusetts.

In high school, Peter played in bands both in and out out of school and found a passion for music that eventually led him to jazz, rock, Latin music, and everything in between. It was during this time that he also discovered composition and the joy of hearing an arrangement realized by live instruments. By the time he graduated high school, Peter was in the middle of recording and producing his first solo album. Since this time, he has recorded and been the sole producer of two more solo albums.

In his latest album, “The New Me,” Peter again presents a mix of genres rooted in jazz, this time with a cast of top musicians including Rick Britto, Ric Fierabracci, Trevor Kellum, Dave Weckl, and Johannes Zetterberg. The New Me also marks the first album Peter produced without a core band. Peter says about the arrangements, “About %75 of what you hear on the record is MIDI. I really learned a lot about what I can do with MIDI versus what a professional can do with a live instrument. When I track out drums or bass myself, I can get it to sound exactly how I want, but a real pro might take the part to a place I wouldn't have even thought of.”

Currently a student of Computer Science at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Peter continues to perform with ensembles and directs both an independent fusion group and jazz combo.

Yuhki Kuramoto--Reminiscence [1998]

2012-01-21T16:43:00.003-05:00

Kuramoto writes primarily for the piano, though orchestral arrangements for some of his pieces exist. Born in Urawa-ku, Saitama, Kuramoto studied the piano from an early age. At school, he studied Rachmaninoff and performed as a part-time soloist in orchestras. He later went on to study at the Tokyo Institute of Technology and obtained a masters degree in Applied Physics. Kuramoto chose to become a musician.

Kuramoto concentrated on the performance of the piano, the composition and arrangement of classical music and popular music. As a professional musician, his interests span genres from classical to folk songs and popular music. Kuramoto never attended a music conservatory and attained his knowledge mostly through self-study. At the age of 35, Kuramoto had the first of his CD published. To this day, he has published 18 CDs.

[LOSSLESS] JEFF LORBER FUSION--GALAXY [2011]

2012-01-19T23:00:00.002-05:00

Trailblazing keyboardist/composer/producer Jeff Lorber revisits a sound he helped pioneer on his latest recording, Galaxy. Following up on his GRAMMY®-nominated 2010 release, Now Is The Time, Lorber again culls from his early catalog but gives a fresh approach to some of his most highly requested compositions, including "Wizard Island," "City," "The Samba" and "The Underground." "Essentially this album is a part two," Lorber says. "It features the same rhythm section, but it's even more into the jazz fusion direction. It's more energetic and the performances are tighter."
Galaxy spotlights 11 originals - all instrumentals - that cover the scope of electrified jazz. The disc opens with "Live Wire" "At over seven minutes long, it's a real powerful, up-tempo song," says Lorber. "It's fun to play and hopefully just as fun to listen to. Yellowjackets' bassist Jimmy Haslip joins him in this 21st century version of the Jeff Lorber Fusion along with saxophonist Eric Marienthal, trumpeter Randy Brecker, percussionist Lenny Castro, guitarists Paul Jackson Jr. and Larry Koonse, and drummers Vinnie Colaiuta and Dave Weckl. Haslip also co-produced the album and co-wrote five tunes with Lorber."Live Wire," like most of Galaxy, is a showcase for the work of renowned drummer Vinnie Colaiuta. "We had three days with Vinnie to cut basic tracks," Lorber says. "Basically, he's the best drummer on the planet, so once he lays down his drum parts - which are like the foundation - you're ready to go. His work really inspired the rest of us."

That inspiration also lives on "Big Brother," a tune that recaptures the essence of contemporary jazz, while the soulful and funky "Montserrat" works a groove loosely based on the Police's 1980 hit "When the World Is Running Down, You Make the Best of What's Still Around." While Colaiuta handles most of the drumming on Galaxy, Lorber recruited Dave Weckl to perform on the title track. "Weckl has been on my last three records," Lorber says. "And I love the way he plays." Lorber's look back at jazz fusion is also a look at the present, and to the future, including vibrant reinterpretations of "City," from the Jeff Lorber Fusion's 1980 LP on Arista, Wizard Island (which introduced a young saxophonist named Kenny Gorelick, better known as Kenny G), and "The Underground" featuring trumpeter Randy Brecker, from Lorber's 1993 album on Verve Forecast, Worth Waiting For. The fresh sounds on Galaxy expand the possibilities of where technology is taking music - the old becoming new, the modern becoming post modern. "It's a step up from the last album," Lorber says. "It's more energetic, harder hitting and even more cohesive. This record really takes fusion to another level." [AMAZON]

Sixun--Nouville Vague [1998/2002]

2012-01-11T19:28:00.003-05:00

The French band Sixun was founded in 1984.(Sixun comes from Six (Fr: six) and 'un' (one). This refers to the number of band members (six) from around the world that play together as a unit. The core of the band, Paco Sery (drums, percussion), Jean-Pierre Como (keyboards), Alain Debiossat (saxophone), Louis Winsberg (guitar) and Michel Alibo (Bass) remained unchanged over the years.
The group began his recording career with Nuit Blanche in 1985, followed in 1987 by Pygmies and Explore in 1988. The polyrhythmic work of the band is very important and significant influences of the multicultural musical origins of the band members in particular, African and Caribbean can be found. The band is often compared to Weather Report, the major influence of Sixun.
With about 20,000 CDs sold of each album, they are one of the more successful European fusion bands. Sixun disbanded in 1998 after the ninth album (Nouvelle Vague). Since 2005, the band is active again and celebrated in 2006 the twentieth birthday of the band with a concert in Paris, that was released as CD and DVD

Thanks again to 'jb' for this as well. The new one. enjoy.

Deja vu long-awaited 3rd series! Keiji Matsumoto, a novel arrangement pianist Western classics of the 1980s golden age!

Us masterpieces of yesteryear fade completely even after more than 20 years of its release, mainly instrumental piano cover Matsumoto consuming more polished. 。 Extensive use of native instruments such as mandolin and strong colors reminiscent of a tropical ukulele, defying an unprecedented approach. Music fans were attracted to Western as well as the 1980s, a whole generation, "pleasant to hear every" um work.

Shaun Baxter--JazzMetal [1993/1994]

2011-12-23T20:30:00.003-05:00

Here's some real nice 'jazz/metal/fusion' that was sent by'anon'. I had never heard of him til this. Pretty good [imo].

The debut recording from British guitarist Shaun Baxter is somewhat of an underground guitar classic. The title along with a limited availability contributed to the recording's lore, but in reality this is a pretty typical Fusion/Shred session. There is more Metal than Jazz here and by the latter's traditional definition, not one note is swung. Baxter is a fine and versatile technician and offers up some impressive pyrotechnics throughout the session, but despite his own claims, there is no real innovation here. His style and sound borrow from the legato approach of both Allan Holdsworth and Scott Henderson with a heavier edge, but it would have been more interesting to hear a strict application of his formal Jazz guitar training. This would have been possible too as bassist Terry Gregory has played alongside Jazz guitar great Martin Taylor. Labeling the music as 'Jazz Metal' creates a set of expectations in both Jazz and Metal camps, but the results here won't satisfy either one of them. This is not imply that this is not a worthwhile session, to the contrary, as there is plenty to enjoy for guitar fans, just leave the labels off. [allmusic]

Freewill--Never Act [2003]

2011-12-20T20:22:00.002-05:00

Someone from another site I visit asked for this. Luckly 'GLord' had posted this, appreciated.
This upstart Japanese band cites the following artists as influential: UK, Jens Johansson, Kevin Moore, Rush, Dream Theater, Deep Purple, Iron Maiden, Terry Bozzio, Blind Guardian, Police, Journey, Queen. etc. The music is nice instrumental prog rock that reminds a bit of Pink Floyd, Dream Theater, or even UK.
Drummer Shingo Uchida is also a member of the band Rikugo.

[RE POST]Takahiro Kido--A Short Happy Life [2009]

2011-12-07T23:38:00.000-05:00

Here is one of his solo releases [there are 5].Japanese multi-instrumentalist Takahiro Kido might already be known to some for his work with Anoice, whose album Remmings was released via Important Records a couple of years back. Now stepping out on his own for the reliably wonderful Plop label, Kido has made one of the most convincing and rewarding hybrids of modern composition and micro-electronics of the year so far. In addition to his own performances across a variety of instruments (including piano, guitar, glockenspiel, flute and computer) Kido has called upon a number of string players to contribute to a processed orchestral sound that dominates much of the album in its various permutations. Integral to Kido's music is a sense of location. Many of these pieces rely upon the natural reverberations of a particular space for their particular sound. Apparently, these recordings were made in abandoned hotel lobbies, up mountains and in tunnels, lending a certain spatial character to the songs.

[SPECIAL] SPHERE 3--COMEUPPANCE [2002]

2011-12-05T22:39:00.003-05:00

Thanks to 'meho' for this. I had never hear this band B4. Very good jazz/fusion from UK. This is the only release [so far].

After listening to the band Network, it made me realize how few progressive fusion bands I had been hearing coming from the UK of late, and knowing that the country once possessed the very best in this genre(Bruford, Brand X, National Health, Isotope, The Fents, UK, Holdsworth, etc.) led me to wonder if the musicians there had all but given up on the sport of fine musicianship. Well here a cd from a band on the progressive label Cyclops records called Sphere 3 - Comeuppance, and it involves the very progressive and fusion mix that makes this style of music so great. To get the fullest impact from this kind of music, the main ingredients are: Great musicians, and Sphere 3 possesses them at every instrument. Great compostions, and here they have acheived that also. Originality, obviously cloning or mimicking a band seldom gets an artist the proper credit they deserve, even if they are outshining their idols, and I am happy to say that Sphere 3 again have excelled on their own take on this style of music. I get the impression that the band mates are well in tune to both the world of progressive rock, as well as the fusion realm, their music can sound like an excerpt from many of progbands epic instrumental section. They also straddle along both sides of the musical fence with these styles, never sounding more like one than the other. As is the case for any band attempting to create a fresh take in this challenging scene, the priority of composition before virtuoso becomes the focal point of importance, here you will find that Sphere 3 has wholeheartedly adopted this approach, by unfurling 10 songs of music that is compelling, challenging, original, and a pleasure to listen to. The band has no boudaries to confine them, they are experienced players that take adventurous expeditions into many uncharted territories. Their ability to gather the many sides of their collective influeces has transfluenced into a sound that is all their own. I can't liken Sphere 3 to any particular band, this is a credit to the players, that they created Comeuppance with such solid songs, and musicianship on their first cd, only leaves me that much more curious to hear a follow up. Formed in the late 90-s and have been playing as supporting act and at festivals with Magnum, Focus, The Flower Kings and I.Q .. JBRADY[PROGGNOISS]

Chick Corea Electric Band--Live From Elario's [1996]

2011-12-02T22:24:00.003-05:00

The first live performance of this power-trio is evidence that they clicked right off the bat. It also has some interesting experimental sounds. A young Dave Weckl rips on drums. That said, I'm pleased to own it for its relative rarity & curiosity value if nothing else. Don't get me wrong, of course there is some phenomenal playing - these boys are the business after all, but its much more of an acoustic sound than I like. I figure Chick must have thought that too, and he decided to add Scott Henderson / Frank Gambale to give the band the harder fusion edge, and pull the job off big time.Thanks to 'xyzz' for this nice one as well..

[new link]Tatsuya Takahashi & The Tokyo Union-Scandinavian Suite [1977]

2011-11-23T15:01:00.000-05:00

Here's some great big band music. Smooth also has a couple more posted @ My Jazz World.
I have posted Track #3-in the player in sidebar.

Big band pyrotechnics by the 20-piece Tokyo Union. This is no sleepy Scandinavian voyage, more a groovy collection of orchestra and electronics in the shape of six varied stormers written by legendary Japanese bandsman Bingo Miki and perhaps a little more accessable and funky then some of the big band outings released under his own name around the same period.

Familiar orchestral colours are melded with more progressive and funky arrangements and styles of the period culminating with the monstrous cop-show theme sounding "Children At Play". A surprising and original jazz album that's a pleasure from start to finish.

A Helmut of Gnats--S/T [1996]

2011-11-20T13:35:00.003-05:00

Very good jazz/rock//fusion. Thanks to 'johny' for all 3 from them.
A Helmet of Gnats biography
Members:
Chris Fox- Guitar- Berklee College of music. Played briefly with Eddie Jobson (Zappa,UK,Yes)
Mathew Bocchino -Keyboards- Attended Berklee Collegel of music
Mark Conose-Drums-Berklee College of Music and Miami Univeristy
Wayne Zito-Bass-Berklee College of Music

As you can see the members of this band have a great pedigree in music. They bring their assorted talents to the group known as A Helmet of Gnats. As that name suggests music high in energy but balanced in virtuosity. A blend of Jazz with a dash of classical elements underlined by some very good in your face rock.

In 1980 guitarist Chris Fox and keyboardist Mathew Bocchino decided to form a band while in high school. This band was to play the music of such progressive giants as UK, Frank Zappa and Kansas. They called themselves Left Testicle and only played three concerts (small wonder with that name). By 1982 this band had morphed into more of a fusion cover band called "By-Product" doing covers by Return to Forever, Bruford and The Dixie Dregs. Their live shows left everyone wanting more.

The band changed their name to Helmet of Gnats in late 1982. After several line up changes at bass and drums AHoG played mostly Dixie Dregs covers. More Personnel changes left the band without a bass player. They recorded some demos using a Roland midi sequencer for the bass lines but by 1988 they had disbanded.
Chris and Matt reformed in 1990 a more mainstream band with a female vocalist. They called themselves "Doctor Curious" named after the singers gynecologist. After a short time Chris and Matt decided they wanted a return to the instrumental adventurous music they loved. They fired the signer and took back the name Helmet of Gnats. They released a self titled album in 1996 with Nicki Defala on bass and Nicki Vitiello on drums. By 2000 the band had replaced the Nicki's with Wayne Zito on bass and Mark Conese on drums. In 2004 they released their second CD A Helmet Of Gnats II. They tour with this line up to this day. [progarchives]

Quaser--Delta Flux [2011]

2011-11-17T00:50:00.002-05:00

A very nice 'jazz/jazz~fusion release. Thx to 'victor'

Hailing from Kobe in Japan, QUASER performs Progressive rock of the highest quality. Originally in the vein of AIN SOPH or KENSO, the band ventures even further in the EMERSON, LAKE & PALMER territory, and knows how to electrify things when needed. Jointly published by the Musea and Poseidon labels, the fourth album "Delta Flux" (2011) opens with guitar riffs worth of the best Progressive heavy-metal bands arounds, duelling with a fierce Hammond organ. Only a second later, the gentle symphonic side takes control, led by delicate piano notes and typical nippon vocals. There are rhythm changes all over the place, creating a refreshing musical maelstrom. Let's note several guest-musicians, including a violin player, and a cover-version of PROKOFIEV's "Enemy God". Not to be missed !
The Japanese band Quaser traces its roots to 1976, but their first album appeared in 1994. Their fifth album Delta Flux was recorded between 2006-2009 though not released until 2011. A violinist guests. Always influenced by ELP and UK, on this album Quaser include an arrangement of Prokofiev’s The Enemy God, as Carl Palmer did on Works Volume One. That’s only part of their sound however, as Quaser cover much more prog ground, including some flowing, mellow songs (something bands such as Ars Nova or Gerard never could). Quaser feature male vocals in Japanese. While some Japanese vocals present a problem to western ears, there’s no issue here as the vocals are mellifluous, comparable to those of Outer Limits. There are some nods to modern tastes, but by and large this is a classy album of 1970s style symphonic prog. YouTube has the song Wild Ocean.

1. Wild Ocean (4:30)
2. Windmezzo (1:46)
3. Enemy God (3:59)
4. Days After (5:25)
5. Berlingia (4:10)
6. Airly Tale (4:56)
7. Poseidonia (3:17)
8. Dreamseeker (3:32)
9. Awaker (6:02)
10. Psycollapse (4:30)
11. Long Road (6:20)
