Soul Bossa Trio – A Taste Of Soul Bossa | Bomba 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.
