Kyoto Jazz Massive are brothers Shuya and Yoshihiro Okin
from Kyoto, Japan who began in the 90s and released their debut album "Spirit Of The Sun" in 2002 on German label Compost.
Their sophomore (studio) album "Message From A New Dawn" was released on 22 Dec 2021. Props go to Gary Van den Bussche for
sending this my way yesterday but I haven't got around to posting it
until this morning reminded by him playing it as the opening track on his
lunchtime Starpoint radio show today. The track GVB is plugging is "The Message" which I believe may have Vanessa Freeman on vocals. Roy Ayers features on "Get Up".
They describe the album as "The ultimate crossover electric jazz fusion work that has evolved into a complete band sound by incorporating all elements such as techno, jazz, house, boogie, broken beats, soul, fusion, and afrobeat".
Assisting them on the album are Vanessa Freeman, Kenichi Ikeda (ROOT SOUL), Takumi Kaneko (cro-magnon), Takeuchi Kazutake (A Hundred Birds), Takashi Nakazato, Yasushi Fukumori, Tabu Zombie (SOIL & "PIMP" SESSIONS), Wien. Phil Symphony Orchestra Kirill Kobantschenko, legendary jazz vibraphonist Roy Ayers.
As of 13 Jan the album is also available on vinyl.
