Soul Bossa Trio – A Taste Of Soul Bossa ( Bomba Recordings ‎– bomlp-1)

 


 
 
 

 Soul Bossa Trio – A Taste Of Soul Bossa | Bomba BOMLP-1

 
 
 
Soul Bossa Trio A Taste Of Soul Bossa Bomba Recordings BOMLP-1 1994 German vinyl LP

Bomba Recordings 1994 ‎– bomlp-1

 
 

 notes:


A Taste Of Soul Bossa is the debut album by Japan’s Soul Bossa Trio,
 originally released in 1994. The group was formed in Tokyo in 1993 
by Gonzalez Suzuki, with Toshiyuki/Toshi Matsumoto and 
Koichi Matsumoto associated with the trio’s early formation. 
AllMusic describes their music as a sophisticated meeting 
point of acid jazz, bossa nova, Brazilian jazz, Latin jazz, fusion and soul jazz.

Musically, the album is built around an organic trio sound, 
combining piano, electric piano and organ with bass and drums.
 Later catalog information identifies Toshi Matsumoto on piano,
 electric piano and organ, Shingo Takemiya on acoustic/electric bass,
 and Gonzalez Suzuki on drums; Gonzalez Suzuki is also credited 
as producer on related releases.

Line-up & Musicians
The documented core Soul Bossa Trio personnel associated 
with this period are:

Gonzalez Suzuki – drums, percussion; producer
Toshi / Toshiyuki Matsumoto – piano, electric piano, organ
Koichi Matsumoto – founding member

Sources describe Suzuki as having founded Soul Bossa Trio in 1993 
with Toshiyuki and Koichi Matsumoto.
Important: Some later Soul Bossa Trio releases have different or 
expanded personnel. For example, credits for later material list 
Shingo Takeyama and other musicians, so those names should 
not automatically be attributed to A Taste Of Soul Bossa.

Recording Date

1993–1994 period — exact recording date not reliably documented online.

The group was formed in Tokyo in 1993, and A Taste Of Soul Bossa 
was released in 1994. Japanese discographical information gives 
the album's release date as March 2, 1994.
Producer – Gonzalez Suzuki

Us3

 
 

 Us3 ‎– Broadway & 52nd

 
 
Us3 ‎– Broadway & 52nd

Blue Note records 1997 ‎– CDP 7243 

 
notes:

Broadway & 52nd is the second studio album by jazz-rap 
group Us3 and has a more dark, conscious mood to it than their first album.
On the album, the group continued mixing live musicians with samples 
and hip hop lyrics. While the album was not as well received as the debut 
album Hand on the Torch, it represented a more mature approach to jazz rap. 
After the huge success of their first album, the president of Blue Note records 
allowed the trio to dig deep into Blue Note's vault and do 
whatever they wanted to do with its material.
