Masayasu Tzboguchi Trio
Pianist & Composer, Masayasu Tzboguchi (from Tokyo
Zawinul Bach, DATE COURSE PENTAGON ROYAL GARDEN) drops a new album showing
new directions of acoustic/electronic Jazz. This is his first album in this
kind of project where various elements such as afro funk, electronica, reggae
and avant-garde mixes into the jazz based sound. Indeed the birth of cool
& thrilling music.
In 2001, Masayasu invites the veteran drummer Nobuo Fujii and forms the
"Masayazu Tszboguchi Acoustic Trio". Later on, bassist Masaaki Kikuchi known
as "Tobi-Atama" and "Masaaki Kikuch SLASHTRIO" joins the group and becomes
the now present Masayasu Tzboguch Trio. As a trio, they regularly play at
"Roppongi Alfie", "Shinjuku PIT INN" etc. and also have toured twice in
Japan. They have also participated in Naruyoshi Kikuchi's jazz album "Degustation
A Jazz" and "Nanbei no Elizabeth Taylor" and also took part in his Quintet
Live Dub band. The leader of this trio Masayasu Tszboguchi has released
6 albums so far under the name "Tokyo Zawinul Bach" which is a computer-based
collage funk group. He is also the member of Naruyoshi Kikuchi's clustered-funk
band "DATE COURSE PENTAGON ROYAL GARDEN" and also activates as solo and
has released a studio album recorded in NY "Vigorous" (ewe Inc.) in July
2005 and the sequel album "Andrograffiti" in January 2006. A very active
musician you could say. The drummer Nobuo Fujii is one of rare musician
who can express the 60's & 70's jazz sound & feeling. Masaaki Kikuchi also
has an original sense as a bassist and has a profound knowledge of contemporary
classical music as well as jazz music.
