Since brothers Shuya and Yoshi Okino formed KYOTO JAZZ MASSIVE (named by DJ Giles Peterson) as a DJ unit in the beginning of the 90's, they have pioneered the way for Japanese Club Jazz/Crossover music at home and abroad. Shuya Okino is also the producer of The Room club, Shibuya, one of the most vital venues worldwide in supporting Club Jazz/Crossover music.

The history of music is retold in the playing of the drummer and hand-percussionist Chris Howard. A successful traps drummer, with many years of widely varied working experience, Chris has long been pursuing the field of hand percussion from all around the world. He is a much sought after percussionist, a standout on both the basic drum set and many instruments from around the world, prized not only as a player, but also as an educator, and a clinician. In fact, Chris is at the forefront of drummers who bring traps fluency and an avidity for handheld percussion to the same music, often carrying many instruments to the same gig, creating fresh sonic reconciliations and creative new departures.

     Chris is an educated percussionist in the best possible sense. Formally taught and a devotee of musical styles of every corner of the world, from ancient times to the cutting edge present, he has been working constantly, on a plethora of bandstands and in countless recording studios, for the better part of three decades. Chris lives his professional life by the truism that the bare bone elements undergirding all music, the building block materials of color, rhythm and timekeeping, always carry through, whatever the musical genre and style.

     Chris brings all his accrued wisdom into his own progressive jazz trio, The Blur Division. At the same time, he is a regular presence with such disparate musicians as the award winning singer/songwriter Rupert Wates, the Billboard-topping Four Celtic Voices, the rumba flamenco of Jason and Elysa Hochman, the Andalusian-infused song of François Wiss, the neo-funk/hip-hop of Lee, the crossover country/folk of the Katie Pearlman Band, the R & B of Carol Ann Brevard, the contemporary classical of Carlos David Bernales, the world music sensibilities of Home Port and the exploratory hard rock of Under Radio among many others. Chris brings a world of knowledge along with instruments from around the world to a wide array of musical assignments. His playing is respectful of his forebears, always in the moment, and for all the surprising fusions he can bring to a gig, invariably appropriate to the music he is propelling forward, whatever the circumstances.

     Chris has also received additional recognition in the international drumming community through his endorsements with Contemporânea, The Cooperman Company, Evans Drumheads, GMS Drum Company, Gator Cases, Great Leather Drumstick Bags, Oruga Drum Effects, Paiste Cymbals, Roc-n-Soc, Inc., Rock 'n Roller Multi-Cart, Snareweight, TreeWorks Chimes, and Vater Drumsticks.

Salvo Lorusso is an Author, Singer-Songwriter, Record Producer, and Music Publisher, heading Nujazz Records, an independent record label with a storied journey that began in 1999. 
Through the labels Scenario Music and Nujazz Records, he has enriched the music landscape by producing albums inspired by a wide range of genres, from electronic to drum'n'bass, from new wave to indie rock, from acid jazz to funk, from bossa nova to trip hop. His creativity encompasses composition, arrangement, and literary writing, and Salvo Lorusso has followed the artistic path of numerous Italian and international bands. 

Among his many discoveries, standout names include the Apulian group Brazilian Wax, for whom Salvo wrote both music and lyrics. Their jazz-bossa album titled "A luci spente," with Italian lyrics, was enthusiastically received by international critics, and their single "Chissà Se Un Samba" quickly entered the charts in Japan and heavy rotation on thousands of radios worldwide. Many more internationally successful productions followed, such as albums by Sicilian band Ganesh, Emilian band Estrela Guia, Swiss band Mono Deluxe, Croatian band Areia, Brazilian artist Ludmilla, and many others, including Cocktail Mood, Istanbul Café, Sinclair, Hammond Express, Circus Alekan, Oleo, Steevo & Soundshaker, Safè Noire, Phazer, and more. 

His eclectic career has involved collaborations with prominent artists, including Maurizio Vurchio, Francesco Gazzara, Fabio Orsini, Gianni Pistillo, Stefano Geniale, Michele Abruzzese, Paolo Romano, Gianni Rotondo, Steevo & Soundshaker, Alex Terlizzi, S8suono, Montefiori Cocktail, Sara Barbone, Anna Coratella, Marialuisa Capurso, Marialuisa Pistillo, Vincenzo Sgaramella, Alfredo Sette, and Michele Corcella. 

Currently, Salvo Lorusso is engaged in a fervent creative phase, involved in various artistic projects, including his highly anticipated new album under his own name, which will be preceded by two singles in 2024. Through his music and lyrics, he touches upon the wonders and anxieties of the world. 
"I am fascinated by the nature that surrounds us, an inexhaustible source of inspiration, cooperation, and love, but at the same time, I am deeply distressed by the continuous selfish and thoughtless choices of human beings. The result of these two conflicting feelings is my songs." 

His new artistic production is a sonic experience resulting from the blending of deeply layered musical influences. Salvo's voice is profound, his singing carries a strong theatrical character, his tone is visceral and enchanting to the listener, and the lyrics are direct and profound. 
They represent a unique emotional journey where the music embodies the words it contains.

"Sono affascinato dalla natura che mi circonda, è una fonte inesauribile di ispirazione, un esempio di cooperazione e amore, ma nel contempo sono profondamente angosciato dalle continue scelte egoistiche e sconsiderate degli esseri umani.
Il risultato di questi due sentimenti contrastanti ha dato vita alle canzoni del mio primo album."

La sua nuova produzione artistica è un'esperienza sonora intima, risultanza di commistioni con molteplici influenze musicali profondamente stratificate, la voce di Salvo é profonda, il suo cantare ha un forte carattere teatrale, il timbro é viscerale e cattura l'ascoltatore, i testi sono diretti e profondi, un viaggio emozionale unico dove la musica incarna le parole che contiene.
