Loveplaydance
Description
Brownswood Recordings is proud to present the reissue of Toshio Matsuura's 2017 cult classic, LOVEPLAYDANCE, released for the first time as a full album on double vinyl. The project focuses on covers, presenting classics and influential tracks in a new context. This new edition includes a cover of Rotary Connection's classic "Black Gold of the Sun" featuring Afro-Cuban singer Daymé Arocena and her prodigious Havana-based musicians, as well as the energetic cover of Byron Morris and Unity's "Kitty Bey," a classic from Gilles Peterson's iconic Dingwalls sessions in the 1990s; neither track appears on the original LP. The TOSHIO MATSUURA GROUP comprises Tom Skinner (drummer for The Smile, Sons of Kemet, among others) as musical director, along with some of the most exciting British musicians influenced by jazz.
The album's release through Brownswood Recordings in the UK continues a relationship that began as a bridge between the flourishing London jazz scene and the new musical avant-garde of early 90s Tokyo. This album furthers this bidirectional dialogue between Japan and the UK.
