Soil & "Pimp" Sessions Continues Their Death Jazz Attack Via "Black Track"
New York, NY (Top40 Charts) Jazz won't know what hit it. The artistic purveyors of a super intense, high-voltage brand of aggressive alternative jazz the band dubbed "Death Jazz," Soil & "Pimp" Sessions returns to the U.S. marketplace on April 14 with the release of their tenth album, "Black Track," which will be issued on the Red River Entertainment imprint with distribution via BFD/Sony RED. The six-piece Japanese outfit rips, roars and rages through twelve piping-hot new tunes they penned for the occasion that they produced featuring a unique mélange of screaming and careening jazz rhythms, club-banging hip-hop beats, retro neo soul grooves and rampaging punk rock & roll jams.

The block party begins with "Introduction" during which the band's rapid-fire horns warm up a vintage jazz-funk groove while Soil & "Pimp" Sessions' agitator and spirit Shacho sets the stage for what's to come. Shortly after Midorin's drums kick in on "By Your Side," guest rapper Bambu spits smitten rhymes about a club-crawling, nocturnal adventure with a woman, a joint seduced by a smooth and sultry chorus sung by Nia Andrews, another guest artist. The scalding "BLACK MILK" takes the record on a distinctive hard bop swing as pianist Josei occupies center stage amidst the furious-paced jazz number that affords ample room for the entire band to show off their astute chops - from Motoharu's soprano sax and Tabu Zombie's trumpet to Akita Goldman's upright bass. Japanese vocalist Nagaoka Ryosuke guests on "Connected," a playful, horn-powered amalgam of pop, jazz and rock sprightliness. Soil & "Pimp" Sessions dims the lights to reimagine Herbie Hancock's classic "Cantaloupe Island," which they slow down and venture into the dark-hued abyss of an atmospheric jazz exploration. The festivities crank back up fiesta style on the showstopper "Papaya Pai Pai," part Cab Calloway big band bash, part Latin samba and part cartoonish anime. Precision horns chisel the crazy-legged "88 9th Avenue" that takes sinewy twists and unexpected turns through melodic lanes. Vocalist Xavier Boyer of French indie pop band Tahiti 80 adds international flavor by guesting on the acid jazz-electronic voyage "In2 My Soul." "One For Carmen" adds a touch of class to the collection, bobbing and weaving along a sweet and tender melody that hovers gracefully atop Midorin's feverish pounding. "SOILOGIC" is trademark Soil & "Pimp" Sessions, a raucous ride that slashes and burns at a merciless, take-no-prisoners straight-ahead jazz tempo. Although a sassy soprano sax plays the role of protagonist on "Simoom," it is a hyperkinetic, horn-ignited jazz-funk dancefloor filler. The contemplative "Mellow Black" is backdropped by probing piano, cascading drums and elastic basslines that plumb murky depths. "SEKAI" closes the date with a full-throttle, whirlwind, smash-and-grab chase that recalls mod punk rock.

Emerging from the Tokyo club scene, Soil & "Pimp" Sessions made their recording debut in 2006 with "Pimp Master." Renowned British DJ Gilles Peterson is credited with turning UK hipsters onto the band through his BBC Radio 1 program, leading to the collection of a BBC Worldwide Award (John Peel Play More Jazz Award) and a television appearance on BBC's trendsetting "Later…with Jools Holland." Popularity in the United Kingdom and Europe soared after a round of buzz-building performances at high-profile festivals including the Glastonbury Festival, Montreux Jazz Festival, North Sea Jazz Festival, Roskilde Festival and many others around the world. Soil & "Pimp" Sessions' first American release came with 2008's "Planet Pimp." For additional information, please visit https://bit.ly/2nc5Mip.
