Quasimode | Mode in Blue

quasimode_modeofblueQuasimode | Mode in Blue [Modern Jazz/Blue Note/2009] Import

The Blue Note debut of one of our favorite contemporary combos — a set that has Quasimode taking on a host of classics from the label’s catalog of the 60s! Given the already-soulful sound of Quasimode on other records, the setting is a perfect one — tunes that are a perfect showcase for their mix of modal rhythms and sharp-edged solo sounds! The group’s expanded a bit on some tracks by the presence of guests — but the core instrumentation features tenor, trumpet, piano, and lots of great percussion — all used to come up with a host of great club jazz-styled rhythms. Valerie Etienne sings guest vocals on a version of “Little B’s Poem” — and other titles include “No Room For Squares”, “Congalere”, “Ghana”, “The Loner”, “Afrodisia”, “On Children”, “Night Dreamer”, “African Village”, “Sayonara Blues”, and the group’s own “Mode Of Blue”.  ~ Source: DustyGroove.com

Jabberloop | And Infinite Jazz

Jabberloop | And Infinite Jazz [Sony/Import/2007]

A silly name, but a decidedly deep little combo — one who follow strongly in the Japanese club jazz mode of Sleepwalker and Soil & Pimp Sessions! As with those groups, the instrumentation here is almost all acoustic and played live — saxes, trumpet, piano, bass, and drums — plus just a bit of keyboards, slight programming, and turntable work to round out a dancefloor groove slightly — all wrapped together wonderfully in a host of soaring, upbeat rhythms! The tenor and soprano sax work on the album are especially nice — often warmly melodic, but filled with feeling and a nice sense of edge that keeps things real throughout. Titles include “The Art Of Blakey“, “In Groove“, “Ugetsu“, “Missing My Bird“, “Source Of Spring“, “Q Track“, and “Look To The Sky“. Japan has always had a strong love of Jazz and new bands seem to be emerging regularly and attracting global attention. ~ Blaks Lair.blogspot.com
