QUASIMODE - THE LAND OF FREEDOM

An amazing second full length set from Quasimode easily one of the most soulful combos working in the current club jazz underground!

Quasimode consists of Yusuke Hirado (Piano), Takahiro "Matzz" Matsuoka (Percussions), Kazuhiro Sunaga (Bass), and Takashi Okutsu (Drums). The sound is based on the authentic jazz which was prevalent in 60s and 70s, and they absorb the groovy club beats as well. This makes it stylish and danceable.

The band coversome of the same territory as their Japanese contemporaries Sleepwalker, an older style of soul jazz played live, mostly with acoustic instrumentation in ways the hearken back to the best older work on labels like Impulse, Strata East, and Black Jazz.

The Land Of Freedom captures on disc the live energy that Quasimode exude when they play in clubs, often to audiences of 2-3 thousand capacity. With such an exploding jazz scene growing in Japan it was clear that Tokyo wasn’t big enough to hold all the talent coming from there. One can only hope this rocking band make it to a club near you soon.
