Shibuya 357 - Live in Tokyo 1992

Description

Simple and funky: BNH, the energy of live! Do we still need to introduce The Brand New Heavies (BNH for the close ones!)? British band, formed in 1985, under the leadership of Jan Kincaid, it brings together the talented Simon Bartholomew on guitar and Andrew Levy on bass. The band makes a splash with its first album "The Brand New Heavies" originally released in 1990 on Eddie Piller's label, Acid Jazz Record. This album is re-released the following year with rearrangements and a reinterpretation of the first album introducing the brilliant singer N'Dea Davenport. In 1992 the band invites a number of big names from American hip hop (Ganstarr, Kool G Rap, The Pharcyde...) on its album "Heavy Rhyme Experience vol.1" and "Brother Sister" in 1994 drives the point home among the best albums of the band. In short, during the first part of the 90s, BNH was one of the leading figures of the acid jazz movement, both popular and of quality! Ah, the good old days of "Dream On Dreamer...!" This album recorded "live" in Japan in 1992 is an excellent audio testimony of the band's beginnings, it includes all the hits of the band: "Never Stop", "Dream Come True", "Stay This Way" and "Don't Let It Go To Your Head".
