Minoru Amino | Jazz | I AM ENTERTAINMENT (IAE) MAGAZINE Album Review 2012

Composition - 3.5 || Musicianship - 3.5
Web: Facebook.com/Minoru-Amino
Location: Kadoma, Japan
Genre: Jazz/Electronic/Funk
Key Tracks: Hybrid Funk

Minoru Amino is and electro-jazz-funk artist whose music is very unique and unlike most
jazz music we're use to hearing in the USA. Blending elements of Funk, Jazz and
Electronica for an interestingly ecclectic brand of jazz music.

"Hybrid Funk" is a smooth jazz ride on the wild side. This particular composition embodies
Minoru's staple funky electronic sound that makes this musician such a standout from
other jazz musicians today. I like the laid back yet funky grooves that live in this piece of
music. The think I usually dread about instrumental music is the fact that I'm often times
bored to tears with it, but Minoru's productions are so ecclectic and full of life that you
can only get bored if you don't like music that is both relaxing and vivacious. Great track!

Other really good tracks by Minoru Amino include: Blue Water, Night Designs, Horizon
and Triple Fuse. Each of these tracks carry their own identity and are proof of Minoru's
true affinity for the creative potential in jazz music.

Minoru's project is best described as the jazz we would hear on any "Smooth Jazz" radio
station in the U.S. I could imagine this music being enjoyed by those who have
expressed a deep appreciation for music without boundaries. If you like George Duke or
Herby Hancock, then you'll likely enjoy Minoru Amino's music and I'd recommend you
check this guy out today.
