Indigo Jam Unit, a Japanese super heavy jazz dance fusion supergroup, are set to release this specially compiled album for the first time. They are renowned for their unique blend of hard-hitting piano and percussion-driven jazz.Gilles Peterson asked Colin Curtis to start his radio show on Worldwide FM called 'Jazz Dance Fusion' at the beginning of the pandemic in May 2020 and this meant he could introduce underexposed music that he loved. Indigo Jam Unit was a natural fit. Following a conversation with his long-time jazz ally Paul Murphy of Jazz Room Records, they both quickly decided that now was the time to unleash some of the best Indigo Jam Unit tracks to the world on an exclusive vinyl-only release.With pounding bass lines, percussive piano breaks, and the distinct addition of two drummers and percussionists, Indigo Jam Unit's sound is truly unique. They have carved a path for emerging bands in the jazz scene of today.The four musicians from Osaka, Japan - Isao Wasano (Drums, Percussion), Katsuhiko Sasai (Bass, Double Bass), Takehiro Shimizu (Drums), and Yoshichika Tarue (Piano) - take no prisoners with their uncompromising style! Power, passion, drive, and incredible playing - like a lethal force.From 2006 to 2016, they had a prolific output of albums with single-minded titles: Demonstration, Realism, Collectivity, Pirates, Roots, Independent Rebel, Milestone, Lights, and more - over 17 projects. Indigo Jam Unit embody the same energy as such jazz dance greats like Art Blakey, Dom Um Romao, Stone Alliance, and the like - just uncompromising raw passion!Tracklisting:
