uruwashi [2022] - One Time [FRIENDSHIP.]


After the last post (Jazz Mafia) this is halfway house as it's neo soul with jazz flavours from Japanese beat maker uruwashi (Masaomi Kawamura) with a new single released 9 Feb 2022 "One Time". 

It sounded OK from the sample but gets a bit monotonous in full (to me) as it's essentially an instrumental with a few chants of 'one time', but perhaps you'll like it?

Jazz Mafia [2022] - Snack Food [JM Collective Recordings]


Jazz Mafia is a San Francisco based collective led and co-founded by trombonist Adam Theis in 2000.

Their latest single (15 Feb 2022) is "Snack Food" which is a bit different, there's jazz, funk and hip-hop all in there, and a change as there's only so many wispy, neo soul tunes I can listen to in one sitting before they all start sounding the same! .
