I am ripping up Soil & “PIMP” Sessions’ death certificate. Yeah thats right, I too am joining in on this silly debate on what is and isn’t DEATH JAZZ. You don’t have to be a high browed jazz “know it all” to see how gnarly and unconventional this group’s music is. Being able to witness their testimony on Monday night in front of London’s Roundhouse audience of 1000+ strong, None of us present, could deny the fact that this is the kind of a la mode music that makes everything and everyone come both to life and light! Just check out the crowd’s ecstatic response. Hands waving, feet’s lifted, hips spinning- all in a rejoicing salute to Soil & “PIMP” technical brilliance and vivacious stage spectacle. Monday night was not a fatal party. Soil & “PIMP” Sessions are very much alive. I just hope my “not death jazz” opinion doesn’t upset six extremely humble Japanese musicians. Soil & “PIMP” Sessions releases + the latest album by J.A.M the “PIMPS” trio of keys, drums and bass, are available on Brownswood Recordings. Stay tuned for exclusive video being cut as we speak.
