Formed in Osaka, Japan, in 2005 Indigo Jam Unit consists of Yoshichika Tarue (piano), Katsuhiko Sasai (double bass) Isao Wasano (percussion & drums), and Takehiro Shimizu (drums).
Indigo Jam Unit's unique sound truly rests on the combination of the four members. Tarue's melodic classical-latin-jazz piano up front intertwined with Sasai's solid and groove driven basslines, all standing on the explosive and versatile rhythm section formed by Shimizu and Wasano.
Being devoted live musicians,Iindigo Jam Unit records all their work in single takes. No overdubs, no click tracks, minimum post processing, and what you hear on the recording is pretty much what happened in the studio during that particular take.
