DESCRIPTION:
2x12" Future Jazz, Broken Beat & Drum N Bass
New York-based Japanese jazz and electronic polymath Takuya Nakamura presents his debut album Shape The Future, almost 35 years into his musical journey.
An expansive double album, the first LP documents a live performance recorded at fabric: a hybrid set combining DJing, live electronics, vocals and trumpet, plus studio collaborations with Shigeto, Currency Audio and Tim Reaper. The second LP gathers studio recordings of select album tracks.
Across his career, Nakamura has played Brazilian music, merengue, salsa and jazz, and worked with artists including David Byrne, Laurie Anderson, Lee “Scratch” Perry, Wu-Tang Clan, Arto Lindsay, Terry Riley, ASAP Rocky, Goldie and TV On The Radio. Steeped in jazz and jungle, Shape The Future reflects the full scope of that path.
Trumpeter, composer and producer Takua Nakamura bas been operative in his adoptive home city of New York for 35 years, though solo releases are few and far between. It's this scarcity of solo output that makes Shape The Future, a first full-length for fabriclive and only his second in total, such an exciting release. On record one, he showcases the distinctive nature of his hybrid jazz-meets-electronica output, charging between moody nu-jazz ('Takara Island' with Shigeto), jungle-jazz (Tim Reaper hook-up 'Broken Jazz' and the liquid D&B style Currency Audio collab 'Make a Wish'), cinematic jazz-bruk epics ('Monium') and vocal-splashed inspiration ('Don't Give Up', a radical cover of the Peter Gabriel/Kate Bush song of the same name). Record two, meanwhile, showcases recordings of Nakamura performing live in Fabric's room three. Fabulous stuff!
