Mama’s Boy(cover)/TOKYO GROOVE JYOSHI

[@rogeremmerson]

I keep returning to this. So good at every level.

[@PhilipMcCaig]

I do too. So good.

[@Xformat01]

That's what you call the Phat Layback

[@nosac1230]

I've watched a lot from this group and this is my favorite. I wish I could have seen it in person!

[@djkanyon]

Emi is killing it!, MiMi is on fire (as usual!), Rina's bass thump is so low it makes waves on my speakers! And Harumo was SO good it's unbelievable. I beat musical school playing saxophone and it was top tier level.... i know the sax pro when i see one. Also i just love Japanese jazz scene, what a musical revival for all the world.

[@Tybold63]

Agree totally

[@timkohler]

The bass is well up in the mix, certainly!

[@jasonwakeman]

I don't get why US jazz stations gate keep them. This IS JAZZ!

[@djkanyon]

@@timkohler when Rina bought this new bass i was sceptical at first but when it's in the mix you can literally feel it!

[@hmg7871]

Crushed every bit of it. A fan is born. Bravo!

[@michaelmunno]

hot damn! smokin! so good. HAPPY BIRTHDAY MIMI! RINA!! wow. what a dirty funky groove. so good. ganbatte ladies. love you.

[@WeightliftingWigger]

Dang those Japaneezes killin it! 🔥🔥🔥

[@TheMaartian]

Being a bassist, I love this band configuration: bass, drums, tenor sax and keys. Perfect bass line. Makes me want to plug my 5 string shorty in now and wake my neighbors!

[@triggSerable]

That sax solo. Woah. Harumo is really up there. Many people don't bother to play actual lines and motifes and just show off their theoretical and technical skills. The best people combine all of those things. Harumo is the latter.

[@sheldondrake8935]

from the first note she is tuned in

[@Philip-t2j]

Harumo always brings it. A force of nature.

[@ECA2]

Wonderful performance ladies. TGJ setting it on fire. 🎵🎶🎷🎸🥁🎹

[@guillaumechabason3165]

Mimi has a fantastic groove and a perfect musical taste One of my favorite drummers for sure Happy birthday 🎉 All the band is great

[@John9876A]

Great rendition of a Harumo classic!! Played with energy, feeling, and real groovy. Everyone here is great.

[@almirgomes5]

Now is the real quality jazz. You're awesome girls, just love your style.

[@PhilipMcCaig]

Rina!! Damn, girl! First time I listened, didn't have my phones on and couldn't hear that bass. She killed this! Someone mentioned her new bass. Is that why this sounds so good?

[@thomasborland6982]

That was sensational ❤❤❤

[@FunkyKikuchiyo]

Always glad to see Harumo on my feed! She hasn’t been popping up as much lately.

[@CLEliasArt]

Wow Wow Wow!!!! Fantastic!!!🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@rogeremmerson]

Love this. Such power.

[@ian12262]

Damn, that was intense. Don't think I've ever seen Rina look so stressed out, but sharp playing all round. Great work, ladies.

[@MikkoRinne]

I don't know about stressed out, but last week (in addition to hot weather) Rina had performances Thursday, Saturday, Sunday (with Friday rehearsals in between), all instrumental, all different sets and lineups, a lot of odd meters requiring concentration, and Sunday's TGJ being the only permanent lineup with familiar songs. Great playing in all three.

[@Philip-t2j]

@@MikkoRinne I kinda think these musicians are hustling constantly and are happy to stay busy as possible. I have no idea of the pay structure for live performances. As soon as one develops any sort of name recognition, they seem to put a store in with videos here selling merch. Who could blame them?

[@billbouldin2969]

JAZZY!

[@daiiahi3403]

Don't know how they find these talented ladies but it seems this group is getting better and better every time I see a new video they put out!

[@chuckw4947]

Grooviest girls around!!! Hands down!! Love Ya Emi, Mimi, Rina..gee you do stay busy don't you...AND...SO nice to see Harumo slaying one of my favorite tunes❤

[@Philip-t2j]

Mama Mia! I love all these women and I've never seen them play with that kind of intensity. All four playing like they had something to prove! Well, I'm a believer as I've been enjoying their videos for years. Not sure if they could ever top this one, it was just stellar.

[@dooksan]

Rina bass Awesome. Band unbelievable, Awesome!❤‍🔥🔥

[@sheldondrake8935]

my foot is stomping the whole time

[@jameschan9634]

Da-yum! Jazz Funk at it's Tokyo Grooviest! Love it!!!

Go girls.❤ Harumo, Emi, Rina & MiMi 🎷🎹🎸🥁🔥🔥🔥🔥🙏 Bring Harumo on your next Australian tour. Even more fun.😊

[@John9876A]

Worth repeating…Harumo. Brecker. Coltrane. In the same breath!

[@Philip-t2j]

Wow!!!. as same as a comment posted before, on Fire!!, all the girls, specially Emi San and Harumo San solo performance. Pretty stunning how a four member band can produce such as an impressive display of taste and talent. Tha band`s sound it`s getting a next level, rising the bar.. Cheers, take care girls.

Fitting song selection, as it looks like a group of stern mothers up there playing.

[@williamkelly9886]

You girls are awesome and beautiful

[@jonrussell7577]

TGJ has always been good, but I agree with some other commenters that they are getting even better. They sound much tighter as a unit, and with Harumo too. She’s one of their “5th Beatles” for sure.

[@dskim5848]

Strong, excellent groove .....great for dynamic improvisation! Like the title...LOL!

She's gorgeous and playing better than ever. All 4 are sharp as tacks on this. Harumo wrote Mama's Boy. It doesn't get any better than this. I wish I could have been there.
