Fom the Sleevenotes by Paul Murphy: Jazz Room Records: 'I took a trip to the If Music Store, 2nd Floor, above the paint shop and that got me hooked on the sound of Copa Salvo.'You NEED this!' said Jean-Claude. 'They're an amazing and unique Jazzy Combo from Japan!' But at the time I was stuck in some dead end Gulag job getting things together for the launch of a record label idea I'd been working on and the bobs were just not in abundance. Especially in the part of the wallet marked 'Japanese Vinyl Import Department'. But he gave it a spin and I was pretty much hooked from that day on.Things soon looked up though and the next sighting of Copa Salvo was on the BBE Records release: A Journey Into Deep Jazz Vol. 3 (Compiled by that very same Jean-Claude!) which featured Copa Salvo - Hasta La Victria Siempre, a pounding piano driven homage to Fidel which incidentally is one of the featured numbers of the album that is soon to be released on Jazz Room Records.I kept looking for more Copa Salvo as I was really intrigued by the sound they produced and, over a period of time I managed to obtain nearly all of their sparse catalogue. Once Jazz Room Records had started to get established and the release of the Colin Curtis Presents: indigo jam unit compilation had been a success I thought 'Time for Copa Salvo to make their Jazz Room debut!' This Jazz Room Records Compilation will feature their unique and highly original compositions which are an energetic meltdown of Funk, J-Jazz, Afro-Cuban, Boogaloo and range from the Heavy Latin Jazz Vibes of Bolivia 67 to the Kung Fu '70's sound of Tong King Rock with a journey that takes in an Eastern Folktale and a Jump Up Life along the way.'Vocal/Guiro : Tadahiro MasudaPiano : Eri KonishiBass : Hironori KobayashiPercussion : Yo SatoPercussion : Pyon NakajimaTimbales/Drum : Peach IwasakiTracklisting:A1.
