N.Y.C. - Tokyo Blue

Tokyo Blue was formed in 2008 by bassist Hiroaki Maekawa, pianist Ywenna Carollin and drummer Joshua Maran to compose and perform original instrumental music. Heavily influenced by international artists and composers including Hiromi Uehara, Avishai Cohen, Marcus Miller, Joe Hisaishi and more, Tokyo Blue's music has essences of Jazz, Fusion, Latin, Progressive Rock and even Film music. The trio uses sweet melodies with funky rhythm section and odd meters at times, constantly pushing their limits of jazz writing and improvisation while still keeping the songs melodious and story-full. While still performing at jazz venues,festivals and private events, Tokyo Blue has recorded their debut album with all originals, which is planned to be released in October 2009. The trio has a distinct sound featuring the adventurous bass playing, aggressive yet sensitive piano and rock solid drum beats. The album also includes variety of tunes that reflect the different sides of their personalities. With the tunes featuring pounding rock riff on piano, mellow fretless bass taking the lead, disco beat with montuno, melodious odd meter piano with double bass, funky latin beats with slap bass and more, Tokyo Blue demonstrates their capabilities to write creative and meaningful tunes, and even to entertain through instrumental music.
This is a tune written by Hiroaki Maekawa called N.Y.C.
