A compilation of tracks that rearrange Okinawan folk songs into Jazz Funk, crossover, and large ensemble jazz, featuring works by Kiyoshi Yamaya, who was also highlighted in InchDiggers DozenInch (BBE) by the Japanese DJ MURO, known as the InchKing of Diggin,Inch and InchWamono Groove Shakuhachi & Koto Jazz Funk 1976Inch (180g). This collection debuts as the latest installment in the InchRyukyu Rare GrooveInch series, which was originally released in Japan in 2003 to great acclaim.
In the past, jazz musicians had both a tradition of playing for dancers and a tradition of picking inspiration and music from other genres. LSD does the same thing on this record. Harmonically simple, singable songs with a clear groove are the foundation that is then allowed to blossom in all it's splendor or maybe become something completely different. InchIt brings the music to the people, for the people, and by the peopleInch. (Jason Marsalis) The trio feels like a three-headed beast when they play together. One organism, one unit that can do whatever it wants. LSD has worked together since 2011 and has since then been touring a lot in Sweden and even in Nordic neighboring countries. They also toured in Canada in 2017 and have previously released two albums InchTrio ColossusInch 2012 and InchSoonInch 2014, which both received brilliant reviews internationally. So great that even Sonny Rollins has expressed his appreciation of LSD's Trio Colossus. This is sure to garner the same praise.
Active as a professional DJ in Japan since the late eighties, DJ Yoshizawa Dynamite is also a renowned remixer, compiler and producer. An avid record collector and an expert of Wamono music, Yoshizawa has published in 2015 the now-classic Wamono A to Z records guide book, which instantly sold-out.
