M-Swift Presents 24 Carat - Blue in Black

2009 release from the Japanese Nu-Jazz/Soul/House artist Shouhei Matsushita (AKA M-Swift). Coproduced by pianist, Hideaki Hori, who has previously released three solo albums and has played with many big names, this album is an interesting chemistry between Hideaki's sense of traditional Jazz and Shouhei's musical sense, soulful and club-jazz oriented. Also featured is the uniquely styled drummer Kazuhiro Oka. Furthering their collaborative relationship, Nick Cohen guests on this album as well, playing the bass. Modular.
