2018 | Quiet Dawn - Human Being: The Short Story of The Reed First Word Records #quietdawn #firstwordrecords #sophiebass @quietdawn @firstwordrecords @sophiebass_illustration Bandcamp: „A suitably ice-thawing six-track opus to compliment the change of seasons, dedicated to the winter blooming plant's desire to be human.“ https://www.instagram.com/p/CZCmb9vs_OT/?utm_medium=tumblr

Takuya Kuroda announces a new album “'Fly Moon Die Soon” and shares his first single “Change” with Corey King. Takuya Kuroda is a  highly-respected trumpeter, is a forward-thinking musician that has developed a unique hybrid sound, blending classic groovy hard-bop, post-bop, soulful jazz, contemporary funk, fusion and hip hop music. The album consists of nine tracks, seven original compositions, and two classics Ohio Players “Sweet Sticky Thing” featuring Alina Engibaryan on vocals, and Herbie Hancock “Tell Me A Bedtime Story”. For this record Takuya Kuroda freed himself from the constraints of standard tracking with a live band and made hearty use of beats, sampling, overdubs, and other studio magic while also inviting musicians into the studio periodically to collaborate, keeping the collaborative and rough-edged spirit intact. After first listen of the album ended up straight on my personal “best albums of 2020”. It’ s great music, from soul-jazz to funk-jazz through beats, great grooves, heavy basslines and unique sound of Takuya’s trumpet. This album is a must. Watch below a video to Takuya Kuroda feat Corey King new song “Change”, the first single from his forthcoming album “'Fly Moon Die Soon”: Takuya Kuroda has come a long way from his early forays into jazz. Born and raised in Ashiya, a coastal city located between Kobe and Osaka, he has been a resident of New York for the past 15 years, and now channels the energy of both cultures.

✨MY FRIENDS✨ March 29th 2019, @firstwordrecords - the best music family and home - is releasing a very special album. We'd like YOU to be a part of it. The aim is to feature tracks from as many different European countries as we can. Regardless of what happens with Brexit, this is simply a tribute to our home; Europe. Our team, our artists & our friends consist of people from across the globe. In a time rife with division & uncertainty, we’d like to celebrate unity and diversity. The best way we know how… Music. If you live in Europe (not just the EU) and feel you have some music that fits our vibe, send it over! The album will be released digitally worldwide, and we’ll split profits 50:50 with the artists. From our label share we’ll be donating 50% to split between two charities; The Refugee Council and Shelter. Send us Soundcloud links to your music to.. [email protected] Closing date for submissions is March 1st. We look forward to hearing from you x We’re all concerned by Brexit in Europe! ❤️ #Europe #Brexit #Music #Love #FirstWordRecords (à Europe) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bt6YhT_C0qC/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=tjsfvs5zyaa
