PRIMO

Just one sun. Just one moon. The same wind,the same rain. Feel the earth. Feel the fire burning. Feel them touch. Touch us all. 

A really great set of spiritually-tuned jazz from PRIMO &amp; THE GROUPE. This set was done a fair bit before that classic – and has a freewheeling, exploratory sound that takes off in a mode that's a bit post-Coltrane, but which also has some freer touches too.This track have a rhythmic, Strata East-like quality.

PRIMO&THE GROUPE - SUN // Nov 20 2011 OUT!

Wishing "Goodnight, love, smile and peace for all children"

PRIMO takes on Herbie Hancock - turning in a heavenly version of the classic - smooth, soulful, groover with Latin-influnced beat, spectacular horns, beautiful piano, lots of great keyboard lines and incredible vocals from Kylie Auldist.Kylie's voice reminds me very much of early Aretha Franklin.

Jazz Carnival - Jazzbrothers Remix

A Brazillian fusion, also known as the Loft Classics has been sublimated to a long spiritual jazz with its 7/8 tricky rhythm. By its cosmic finish you will be floating as the sound gets busier, and in the end you will be blown away at a breath.

Jazz Carnival

Hawaiian AOR anthem was reconstructed to this dance floor salsa tune, its demo version has been a song of the news everywhere even in its early demo stage, now finally released as a vinyl.

Hunk Of Heaven feat. Deborah Ledon

A clean-cut Bosko Petrovic’s bop tune was cooked by PRIMO with his regular party trick- it was dressed to a floor-ready and speedy afro-cuban Jazz.

Tiffany Girl

Featured guest is Heidi Vogel who is well known also as the lead singer of The Cinematic Orchestra. A supreme Jazz dance tune with a miraculous encounter of Heidi’s stillness-motion intertwined vocal and the emotional/stylish arrangement.

Album preview for forthcoming reissue of Rusty Cloud's superb private spiritual free jazz LP "Karuna" NYC 1977.(24/8/2016) // PRIMO-11(NBCD-055)// www.jazz-primo.jp

￼￼￼￼￼The original was a mega rare item of private press!! The spiritual jazz popular piece made in New York is released as the first CD in the world!! This is right piece in the middle for spiritual jazz fan which reminds of the works such as Strata-East and others! The aesthetic and dynamic arrange, and songs are peaceful and beautiful. What an awesome numbers they are!

Anthony "Rusty" Cloud was born in Baltimore in 1951, and is now a pianist and arranger and still playing as a tour member of many artists including the Blues Brothers.

After he had met Herbie Hancock and so at Jazz workshop which joined in his schooldays, he had been performing in small clubs each and every day while felt in love with the music under the influence of James Joseph Brown and Muddy Waters.
He set his mind on success and moved to New York, and released “KARUNA” as a private press with negligible pieces. The existence is “People in the know, know” in the world and famous disk of spiritual Jazz made in New York. That’s an amazing secret masterpiece!

T1. Westering: Show aesthetic and dynamic creation with a faint Latin flavor.
T2.Karuna: Dramatic plot in the latter part is fantastic.
T3. Peace Rahsaan: Fill with feeling of blues devoted to Roland Kirk.
T4 Blessing: Finest spiritual jazz with peaceful and beautiful session using seven beats rhythm. 
Three unreleased songs such as T5&T6, early period session sound source, and T.7, was supposed to record in an Album (unfinished) as planned next piece, are exclusively recorded as bonus tracks.

PRIMO&THE GROUPE - Movement (Eiji Takehana Rework) MP3-128KBPS

The first piece on Side B is "Salsa de Santa Rosa", a tune in a bop style that's pulled forward by the earthy bass line. The performance features an exciting Afro-Cuban flavor along with an immaculate and brilliant horn section. You're bound to enjoy to the full the appeal unique to jazz and the lightness of this great rendition of this piece. 

PRIMO&THE GROUPE - Salsa de Santa Rosa (MP3-128KBPS)

This is followed by another version of the same piece given a jazz-rock interpretation employing irregular metre. While on the one hand displaying an aggressive mien, the scintillating contrast between the legato playing on the Fender Rhodes piano and the sharp rhythms gives rise to a symphonic afterglow.


PRIMO&THE GROUPE - Movement (5/8 Version) MP3-128KBPS

The first is "Movement" which kicks off the A-side, the killer jazz dance tune, performed by a vibrant ensemble featuring dynamic sax and lyrical piano. This is a cover version of a fantastic but relatively little known masterpiece of Japanese jazz, a piece full of riveting pace and vitality, that was originally featured on the first lead album by Ryusei Tomoyose. Tomoyose was a great tenor saxophonist who gained a reputation as the Okinawan "Nabesada" (Sadao Watanabe) and played a major role in the development of the jazz scene in Okinawa. The sparkling tone, suggesting the radiant blue of the sea, and the melody invoke in the listener an ideal balance of tension and comfort.
