Definition of Love



中古盤

輸入盤

Impromp2Johnny Britt(tp、vo)とSean Thomas(vo)の2人によるユニット。

Motown傘下のレーベルMoJazzから『You're Gonna Love It』(1995年)、『Can't Get Enough』(1997年)という2枚のアルバムをリリースしています。

Sean ThomasはImpromp2結成以前に兄弟Hip-HopデュオRappinstine として活動していました。
strong>Johnny BrittはImpromp2と並行してThe TemptationsThe WinansRay-J等のレコーディングに参加しています。

1998年にMoJazzが消滅した後も『The Definition of Love』(2003年)、『It Is What It Is』(2007年)という2枚のアルバムをリリースしています。

また、Johnny Brittは2010年代以降にソロ名義で5枚のアルバムをリリースしています。

さて、Impromp2のデビュー・アルバムとなる本作『You're Gonna Love It』(1995年)ですが、この時代らしいジャズ×R&B×Hip-Hopな1枚に仕上がっています。

プロデュースSteve Harvey

レコーディングにはメンバー以外にSteve Harvey(ds、per、key)、Roman Johnson(el-p、clavinet)、Sekou Bunch(b)、Jimmy Macon(g)、Bobby Broom(g)、Kipper Jones(back vo)、Brian Wilson(back vo)、Lysa(back vo)が参加しています。

楽曲はメンバー2人とSteve Harveyによるオリジナル。

スムーズ・ジャズ、メロウR&B、ジャズHip-Hopの融合が本作の魅力ですが、曲ごとに三者のブレンド具合を絶妙に変えているのがいいですね。

全体として良くも悪くもアーバンなメロウ&スムースに終始し、Seanのラップ調ヴォーカル(スキャット・ラップと呼ばれていたようです)が軟弱に聞こえるかもしれないので、人によってはインパクトに欠ける印象を受けるかもしれませんが、僕はこのアーバンな音世界を気に入っています。

シングル曲の「Summer Nights」「Get Me Off」、メロウR&B×ジャズHip-Hopな「Enjoy Yourself」、ヒップホップ・ソウル調の「Lovin' You」、ジャズHip-Hop色の強い「Get Down Mamma」「Pass It On」あたりが僕のお気に入りです。

ジャジーHip-HopではなくジャズHip-Hopをご堪能あれ!

全曲紹介しときやす。

「Enjoy Yourself」
メロウ・トラックにのってSeanがスキャット・ラップするオープニング。メロウR&B×ジャズHip-Hopなオープニング。シンセの響きが少しG-Funk調なのが面白いですね。

「We Got It Goin' On」
スムーズ・ジャズによるHip-Hop的演奏といった雰囲気のアーバン・ミディアム。ミュート・トランペットの響きがアーバン・ムードを盛り上げてくれます。
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tFcFSCXrIS4

「Lovin' You」
これはヒップホップ・ソウルとジャズHip-Hopの融合といった感じですね。バック・ヴォーカルでThe Gap BandのRonnie Wilsonの息子であるBrian Wilsonが参加。彼は兄弟でR&BグループBlu Cabを組んでいました。
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lGDpkatNzTY

「Get Me Off」
シングル曲。ひたすらメロウ&スムースに終始するミディアムですが、Seanによるトークボックスがいいスパイスになっています。
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JpmZOb4iczU

「Summer Nights」
シングル曲。Michael Jackson「I Can't Help It」をサンプリングしたメロウ・トラックにのってSeanがスキャット・ラップするアーバン・グルーヴ。スムーズ・ジャズ×メロウR&B×ジャズHip-Hopのバランスが絶妙ですね。このユニットの魅力を象徴する1曲なのでは?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VzdB2CDMWHI

「My All」
Seanのスキャット・ラップがよく似合うアーバン・グルーヴ。Johnnyのトランペット・ソロもキマっています。このトラックもバック・ヴォーカルでBrian Wilsonが参加。
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7F_Z23wLNL8

「You're Gonna Love It」
メロウR&B寄りの仕上がり。バック・ヴォーカルで当時僕が好きだったKipper Jonesが参加しています。
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vNgAsQCPtjc

「Get Down Mamma」
Hip-Hop好き一番フィットするのがこのトラックなのでは?Hip-Hop寄りのアシッド・ジャズあたりとセットで聴いてもフィットするのでは?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aouLYJD2Xyo

「Pass It On」
このトラックのみソングライティングのクレジットにPuppetmasterの名があります。Guru『Jazzmatazz』好きの人は気に入るであろうジャズHip-Hopに仕上がっています。
