Zigzagger

"... Zigzagger finds the trumpeter digging even deeper into his hip-hop and Afrobeat-influenced jazz sound ... As the title implies, with Zigzagger, Kuroda continues to push his distinctive jazz-funk explorations in ever more engaging and unexpected directions".

"The tracks tend to match up things that complement each other well: `60s soul and `70s fusion, groovy N'Yawk horns with wah-wah bass, programmed beats under urban R&B ... Zigzagger brings a bright world-encompassing dance party with fun to spare".

"On his fifth solo release, 36-year-old trumpeter Takuya Kuroda dons the cape as Zigzagger, a groovemaster wielding the charms of propulsive funk and hard-bop soul ... Throughout the record, Kuroda and is his band retain their organic chemistry, refusing to sacrifice their engaging charm for too much production flash".
