Biography

Bass-heavy grooves from Indigo Jam Unit — easily one of the hardest hitting combos on the Japanese scene in recent years! The tunes here are very heavy on acoustic bass — played in loud, bold lines alongside piano, bass, drums, and added percussion — all recorded with a really full sort of feel, in joyously searching grooves that owe a lot to soul and modal jazz of the 60s and 70s! There’s a stripped-down quality to the album that’s really appealing — a focus on the core elements and rhythmic moments — making the record a delight for groovehounds, although it’s also got a strong jazz component too. Titles include “Pirates”, “Rumble”, “Trailer”, “Raindrop”, “Time”, “Nostalgia”, and “Himawari”.
