“Jam Ka” is Yosuke Onuma’s lifework project. Three albums have been released so far.
“Jam Ka” 2010
recorded in New York Yosuke has been fascinated in creole jazz since 2007 after listening his long time friend Jacques Schwarz-bart’s 2 Gwo-Ka jazz albums. The music matched perfectly what he was looking for. As a surfer, Yosuke had wanted to create his own music that unites jazz with nature feeling. In this album, Jacques produced smartly and played saxophone brilliantly. Reggie Washington added a modern groove. Olivier Juste and Young Arnaud Dolmen focused on playing Ka.
“Jam Ka Deux” 2016
recorded in Paris Though this one is an intensive guitar album, it has a romanticism on some ballads by playing of Grégory Privat. Reggie, Olivier and Arnaud are here. Arnaud played drums mainly on this album. The guests players added some textures : Simone Schwarz-bart wrote a merancholic lyric about nature and read it dramatically. Hervé Samb and Sonny Troupé played a blues so fun. Jacques concentrated on producing.
“Jam Ka 2.5 The Tokyo Session” 2019
recorded in Tokyo The title means literally about the state of the project. Jam Ka band is on the way to the next step. This is a live documentary recording with a video shooting at a studio in Tokyo to capture the moment. Including tunes from “Jam Ka” and “Jam Ka Deux.” A beautiful medley of “Beyond The Sea” to “Le Bonheur” Grégory’s composition. “Gradation Part 4” is an exciting improvised session of Yosuke with Olivier and Arnaud.

– English liner notes from the album –
The Michel Reis Japan Quartet features Michel Reis’ long time collaborators Akihiro Nishiguchi and Takashi Sugawa whom he has been working with for the past 15 years. They met while studying together in Boston, MA. In 2015, together with rising-star drummer Shun Ishiwaka, they formed the Michel Reis Japan Quartet. This band has since touring numerous times, playing at some of Japan’s most famous clubs and festivals.
The Japan Quartet recorded its first album in 2017, and it features all original material by Michel Reis. The music bears Reis’ typical traits as a composer, with a focus on clear melodic content. However the Quartet also ventures in more avant-garde territory and explores free form improvisation. Four tracks on their new album are freely improvised, yet still focusing on recurring themes and ideas, invented and developed in the moment. Michel Reis and the members of his quartet try to broaden the musical horizon of the band, by taking advantage of every sonic and rhythmical esthetic which they spontaneously encounter while interacting on stage. Michel Reis’ Japan Quartet combines well crafted compositions with a more loose improvised approach in order to create an exciting and fresh musical soundscape.
