T-GROOVE & GEORGE KANO EXPERIENCE "Lady Champagne" CD
A jazz-funk-disco project has been launched, bringing together 18 musicians from Japan and France, led by disco creator "T-GROOVE", who is highly regarded in the domestic and international scenes for his world-class sound, and street drummer "George Kano", who has created a versatile groove in numerous sessions and live performances! Moody and sweet... soulful and groovy... the sexy and luxurious sound, produced entirely with live sounds, is a contemporary dance music that fits both the dance floor and the listening public! [All English lyrics]
The glittering skyscrapers reflected on the Seine ripple in syncopation on the water's surface. Stop the clock and your heart will run from Paris to Tokyo. A miraculous Japanese-French joint project album by T-Groove and jazz-funk drummer George Kano. (Kanazawa Hisakazu / Music Writer, Light Mellow) "T-Groove has mastered disco while also tapping into many different genres. Drummer George Kano is also active as a member of i-dep, focusing on jazz and funk. These two groove masters, who know the essence of dance music inside and out, will invite you into a luxurious and intimate space. The modern fusion disco, played entirely with live sounds and utilizing a wide range of connections across borders, is a paradise for listeners who love music from the 70s and 80s. The detailed and bold arrangements, which also involve SWING-O and YUMA HARA, and the moody vocals of DAISUKE and Shohei Uemur (aTHREE1989) also add color to the sound.
