Release Notes:

An amazing second full length set from Quasimode --
easily one of the most soulful combos working in
the current club jazz underground! Quasimode cover
some of the same territory as their Japanese
contemporaries Sleepwalker -- an older style of
soul jazz -- played live, mostly with acoustic
instrumentation -- in ways the hearken back to the
best older work on labels like Impulse, Strata
East, and Black Jazz. They've got a great sense of
focus and drive -- really pushing their tunes with
a sense of energy that most regular jazzmen these
days can hardly touch -- yet also doing so in a way
that always swings strongly, with the kind of jazz
dance rhythms that first sent international
collectors digging for soul jazz sides a few
decades back! This time around, they've got some
wonderful help from Carmen Lundy on two tracks --
bringing in vocals that recall the best work on her
own albums from a decade or two ago -- and other
guests on the album include Mika Arisaka on vocals
and Masato Nakamura from Sleepwalker on tenor sax.
