    "Merry Go Round"

    Back in the Night of the Day at the Jazz Dance hang outs like the Legendary Horseshoe in London's Tottenham Court Road (where the scene was born) and the Electric Ballroom in Funky Camden Town (where the scene took shape) one record was guaranteed to get the dancers off and kicking:
    Terumasa Hino - "Merry Go Round", taken from an LP entitled "Double Rainbow" on Sony Japan Records. It featured a stellar cast of the Jazz Fusion Movers and Shakers of the day pounding out a Bass Driven Rhythm Express Train that shook up the Jazzfloor Massive by the scruff of the neck and tumbled them down a Psychedelic Jazz Mountainside.


    Cut to a lifetime later and Jazz Room Records had an unexpected best seller with The Takumi Moriya Black Nation version of the Joe McPhee classic"Shakey Jake", (which had been featured in an episode of the Cult Apple+ TV series "Severance".)
    For a follow up why not do something a little bit "Way Out There"?
    “Merry Go Round” had been featured on a number of DJ Charts in the BBE Records Book "J Jazz - Free and Modern Jazz Albums From Japan 1954 - 1988" so at Paul Murphy's request Takumi got together some of his favourite Musicians to record a Heavy Funk Tribute to an all time Jazz Floor Classic. So here is eight minutes of Defiant Jazz driven at a Psychotic Steam Hammer pace.

    The "B" Side:

    The track "12000RPM" from NikNaks album "Ireti" on the Matthew Herbert label Accidental Records was the inspiration for this stunning remix.

    As soon as Paul Murphy heard it there was just no contest. "This is our Remixer!"

    And NikNak has delivered a Space Rocking, Futuristic Jazz and Bass Meltdown!

    NikNak:
    "This was a really fun track to rework with lots of really cool elements to play with in the re-interpretation. The original is nuts, such a vibe too. It's a track to get lost in for sure."

「メリー・ゴー・ラウンド」

ロンドンのトッテナム・コート・ロードにある伝説のホースシュー(シーンが生まれた場所)やファンキー・カムデン・タウンにあるエレクトリック・ボールルーム(シーンが形成された場所)といったジャズ・ダンスのたまり場で
やファンキー・カムデン・タウンのエレクトリック・ボールルーム(シーンが形作られた場所)で、1枚のレコードがダンサーたちを盛り上げた:
日野皓正 - 「Merry Go Round 」で、ソニー・ジャパン・レコードからリリースされた 「Double Rainbow 」から。当時のジャズ・フュージョンのムーヴァー&シェイカーたちの豪華な顔ぶれが、ジャズフロアのマッシヴを首の皮一枚で揺さぶり、サイケデリック・ジャズの山の斜面に転げ落ちるような、ベース・ドリブン・リズム・エクスプレス・トレインを叩き出していた。


ジャズ・ルーム・レコードは、ジョー・マクフィーの名曲「Shakey Jake」の守屋巧ブラック・ネイション・ヴァージョンで予想外のベストセラーを記録した。
その続編として、少し 「Way Out There 」なものをやってみてはどうだろう?
「メリー・ゴー・ラウンド 「は、BBEレコードの 」J Jazz - Free and Modern Jazz Albums From Japan 1954 - 1988 "のDJチャートで何度もフィーチャーされていたので、ポール・マーフィーのリクエストにより、匠は彼のお気に入りのミュージシャンたちを集めて、ジャズ・フロアのオールタイム・クラシックへのヘビー・ファンク・トリビュートをレコーディングした。サイコティックなスチーム・ハンマー・ペースで疾走する、8分間のデファイアント・ジャズがここにある。
