| Description: | Brownswood Recordings are proud to present the reissue of Toshio Matsuuraâ??s 2017 cult classic LOVEPLAYDANCE.
The project focuses on covers, presenting classics & influential tracks in a new context. This new edition includes a cover of the Rotary Connectionâ??s classic "Black Gold of the Sun'' featuring Afro-Cuban singer Daymé Arocena and her prodigious Havana-based players, as well as the high energy re-lick of Byron Morris and Unityâ??s â??Kitty Beyâ??, a classic from Gilles Petersonâ??s seminal afternoon session at Dingwalls in the 1990s; neither included on the original vinyl LP.
On â??LOVEPLAYDANCEâ??, legendary Tokyo DJ and producer Toshio Matsuura charted a new direction by casting musical cornerstones in a fresh light. The TOSHIO MATSUURA GROUP features Tom Skinner (drummer for Smile, Sons of Kemet, amongst others) as its musical director, as well as some of the UKâ??s most exciting jazz-influenced musicians. Drawing on years of surveying and curating different corners of music, Matsuura deftly combined this talented pool of players into one singular, wide-ranging album. A co-founder of Japanâ??s United Future Organisation (aka U.F.O.), this record sees Matsuura reconnect with longstanding friend and collaborator Gilles Peterson. Releasing the album via Brownswood Recordings in the UK, itâ??s a continuation of a relationship which started as a bridge between Londonâ??s then-blossoming jazz scene and Tokyoâ??s new musical vanguard of the early â??90s. This album continues that two-way dialogue between Japan and the UK.
The scope of the music reflects the breadth of Matsuuraâ??s interests; It ranges from Bugges Wesseltoftâ??s Detroit-influenced, dancefloor-minded jazz, stretched out into a more meditative contemplation, to Flying Lotusâ?? LA-rooted, Brainfeeder beatmaking, translated from laptop-to-live, given a new, equally idiosyncratic lease of life. Elsewhere, Carl Craigâ??s iconic â??At Lesâ?? is taken in a looser direction, the overtones of euphoria cast in a different hue.
Theyâ??re touchpoints which hint at interests in the different, diffuse corners of electronic music, and how they connect to jazz and improvisation. Featuring an all star line up of some of the best players London has to offer, line up includes Nubya Garcia, Yazz Ahmed, Yussef Dayes and more.
