@@DanHolmes-o9b The "horns" are modeled (or sampled) horn sounds, and I believe that in this case they are controlled by Harumo's tenor sax in real time. In some of their other shows you can see Harumo bringing FX in or out with a foot controller like guitarists often do. It seems the string sounds and sometimes the Rhodes sounds are being played by Toshitaka Shibata (guest playing keyboard). In most of their videos you can see a notebook computer on Mimi's left with a DAW running. It looks like Mimi has it set up to play sequences to add to to the arrangements, especially when they are just a trio.
I am falling down the TG rabbit hole and I never want out. I admit I have the most difficult time taking my eyes off Miss Imai as she is beyond stunning.
@@DanHolmes-o9b Juna was the original bassist in TGJ from 2018 to 2020. She left the group to spend time in the US. She's currently in Japan with The Jazz Avengers, Muses, and her own band. But she still appears with TGJ as a guest artist, usually playing alto sax, often with guest artist Harumo Imai on tenor as well. Good stuff. The bassist in this video is Rina Hoshino - she's been the bassist for almost 4 years. Drummer MiMi joined TGJ at the same time as Rina, replacing original drummer Yuriko Seki.
WOW! Truly gifted jazz-funk-groove masters, each and every one of them! Just close your eyes and listen!! The fact, that they are also beautiful is just a plus. I'm on the Tokyo Groove train enjoying the ride!!
First your foot starts tapping then your head starts bobbing and before you know it your bodies moving in ways you thought it couldn't these ladies are brutally gifted insanely talented and totally gifted the funk is magical Raw Pure and clean they play from deep within their hearts and souls it doesn't get much better
They accomplished the thing, but they are not that superb. I've seen many vids and they still make a lot of mistakes. I mean, yes they are good, that's why I watch their vids, but they play the basic the songs need to be well played.
@@guillermoyaroslavlverduzco1551 I love those "mistakes"! It's live music, after all, and to many of us, great musicians playing "from the heart" will beat a "flawless" programmed track every time. If the "mistakes" bother you, there are, of course, MILLIONS of programmed songs with "no mistakes" for you to enjoy. So why not express your appreciation there instead of trolling folks who love TGJ? Unless of course, your real desire is to show off your superior musical awareness, in which case I'm sure you have a lot of "superb" music of your own to share with us.
I don't know who's who but they are very talented and beautiful I love the bass player and saxophone players face expressions they feel the music. Very talented group and beautiful
Thank you ladies! This is just what I needed today! love your sound. Love the kimonos too! you all look so pretty! Classy, groovy, beautiful music. So refreshing to listen to and watch! I am so happy you continue to create original music! I love all that you do, from NJ, USA!!
btw, Happy Birthday Rina-chan!!! @Rina Hoshino, beautiful song, new album coming?? I love how you write, what a great bass and rhythm and awesome overall sound, so good, bravo, more more more! Please! :)
These ladies are talented! I played B3 with 2 leslies back then, along side my tenor sax dude at the Merritt House in Baltimore. We always had a full, crazy house, but never had the full sound like these sweet, talented ladies. What if they did jazz concerts on tour with Yuja Wang! WOW!
Another example that there is crazy female musical talent in Japan Jam ladies the funk will drive you insane I love it every note every lick every riff
These ladies are so good. Loving that 70's Herbie Hancock groove, sprinkled i with the keys echoing the Doors, then Tangerine Dream for a few bars . - So much to ike about this song. - A lot to unpack!
Well, most has already been said about the technique/style, I just add I used to be a bassist in Jazz long ago, now when I want to get the funk blues mood, these girls are where I go...your still in my top 10, oh, and the kimonos are a gorgeous touch.
Fantastic changes in darkness and lightness. All in all quite a win when it comes to a mixture of something beefy and fluffy meringue. I imagine it's far more enjoyable to see live.
Very wonderful sound and colors bursts of sound! Your music is top notch! You blend together nicely and the solos are perfect! The kimonos are nice touch and you girls look great!🌹🎵🎶🎵🎶🎶🎶😎

You can tell that this song was written by a bassist without even knowing that this is Rina's song. Bass part is so prevalent and carefully crafted.
Isn't a 6 string bass just a thicc guitar though?
I hear a horn section. Where are they?
@@DanHolmes-o9ball through the keyboard!

@@DanHolmes-o9byeah there's always a couple of invisible musicians in this band which is kind of lame, but they're still kinda good
So happy these girls are keeping the funk alive somewhere in the world today!
Just when i was just getting disillusioned with what’s out there today. Yes a funk revival

This song was written by Bass player Rina Hoshino. This song is on the EP"Tokyo Groove 2".
Harumo looks so good with black hair.😊❤
Also🥰
These women have such a cool, groovy sound.
Wonderful groove! Keyboardist gave me Deodato flashbacks.
I am falling down the TG rabbit hole and I never want out.
I admit I have the most difficult time taking my eyes off Miss Imai as she is beyond stunning.
I'm late to this party, but after watching this I purchased Tokyo Groove 2.
Nice to hear a young fellow, enjoying old funk and the Japanese bass player is the best I’ve seen in 10 or15 years
Miss Kelli 💚🧜♀️🫵
Oh, that bass!!! Deep down. Really cool seeing them play jazz in their native costumes. East meets West.
The saxophonist is also so darn good. All of them are GREAT !
Dexter G!
The ladies can put down some nasty and tasty groove!
Play that funk
Almost Steely Dan-like. I love it all.
These ladies are Outstanding !!!!! All are wonderful.!!!! I love music and you women. Keep up the music!!! ❤❤🙏🙏 Bless you all. You ladies rock
That face at 2:25 ! These girls mean business with those instruments! Love it!
She was feeling it!
Funky, groovy, jazzy, wonderful!!!
Ten seconds into this tune and it's undeniable - Rina Hoshino is BAAADDAASSSS!!!
Rina is a Goddess
@@Herve1955.........with her killer bass.😄
I thought it was Juna on bass, Mimi drums, Emi keys and Rina on sax.
Correct me if I'm wrong.

Good music is still alive today.
I want to thank these ladies for keeping this music alive. I think I already mentioned that I am in love with the Saxophone player.
Yeah, she is my new crush!! 😌😌😌😄😄
You can talk to her and I'll talk to the bassist. ;-)
I love the Sax player and the Keyboard player bass player has Moxy
My dream band

Blown away!
Loving that bass!!
Great, Rina !!! Please, go on ...
All of them showing their true powers. This is a straight up bad ass jam. Bar none

These girls are superb, such a great groove going on there.

Incredible performance, everything is top-notch.. What a base, drums, keys. Wow ladies this is high end!
Love these ladies.
That's the funky from a 70's action movie. Amazing!
I could listen to these great musians forever~USA
Love This! Intriguing and very shady bass line. Heavy Groove. Very-very seventies.
I don't know who's who but they are very talented and beautiful I love the bass player and saxophone players face expressions they feel the music. Very talented group and beautiful
That bass is a monster!
That 6 string bass hits the low notes.
She's getting down on the B string keeping it funky .
And it could be the same on a 5 String, but that’s a beautiful 6.
I love the 6 string bass!
Why?

Perfect tune. Super produced. Ear and eye candy. Keep it up!
Sweet music. That bass guitar girl is my life. Her fingers on bass guitar is my heart beat. 😅😅😅🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤
Get a grip
This is their finest so far-if I closed my eyes I'd swear I was in the New York scene!
Mirror, mirror, on the wall who is the sexiest Japanese musician of them all?
Love your compositions and your traditional outfit compliments your groovy sound. Love it.
These ladies are talented! I played B3 with 2 leslies back then, along side my tenor sax dude at the Merritt House in Baltimore. We always had a full, crazy house, but never had the full sound like these sweet, talented ladies. What if they did jazz concerts on tour with Yuja Wang! WOW!
Always grooving... greetings from Brazil
I I love their native outfits. But what came next was even better. Wow that's good music. These pretty ladies are really good.
I love that composition, It's got funk It's got groove and is sultry hot and swinging. Thank you. Love from the U.S.A.
ya some talent in the world
Another example that there is crazy female musical talent in Japan Jam ladies the funk will drive you insane I love it every note every lick every riff
Thank you woman/girls for sharing how awesome you are with everyone ! ! ! Phat Groove
A year later, and I still keep expecting Donald Fagen to start singing.
These ladies are so good. Loving that 70's Herbie Hancock groove, sprinkled i with the keys echoing the Doors, then Tangerine Dream for a few bars . - So much to ike about this song. - A lot to unpack!
I have the same feeling. Absolutely Herbie.
Herbie/Messengers plus Umami
Why did it take me so long to find these ladies? I do love their videos and groove
Oh My God this bass is AWESOME !!! ❤
Oh my fucking god. How is this possible?! (admittedly I'm new to funk or jazz or whatever this is.) I would pay good money for a whole album.
Well, most has already been said about the technique/style, I just add I used to be a bassist in Jazz long ago, now when I want to get the funk blues mood, these girls are where I go...your still in my top 10, oh, and the kimonos are a gorgeous touch.
Elles ont tout compris !!
You are the best jazz band going I am 69years old the sound so crisp well done🙏🤘😎
Jazz hasn't looked this sexy in a long azz time!! Keep jamming ladies!
Solid! Excellent kimono funk!
Eat your heart out Juna!!! Love you but Rina nails this
Excellent, shows how versatile each instrument and artists plays , nice sound
For You, girls, I'm gonna try to speak Japanease. Music is the life! Still have in my car (Nissan) sound "Samurai Faith". Thank You
STANDING OVATION!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This is sooo Funky 🤜🏾🤜🏾🤜🏾🤜🏾🤜🏾
Just love the drummer's smile.
All the girls are gorgeous. But Rima when her face is impassive it is the supreme beauty. It looks like it comes straight out of a Japanese print.
Happy Birthday Rina... 💗 🍷 🎂
Fabulous Groove...! 😊
I love you all s music so amazing
Very cool, deep grove. Thank you. But my eyes and ears are completely perplexed!
Wow so good. You are all amazingly talented.
Fantastic changes in darkness and lightness. All in all quite a win when it comes to a mixture of something beefy and fluffy meringue.
I imagine it's far more enjoyable to see live.
I really like the saxophonist. She is very good.
Lovely🌹 Dressed in traditional kimonos and plays like they OWN it.
They got my vote ☑️🎭
Oh yes Ladies y'all are really melodic and Groovy..I luv it:
that's an amazing bass guitar
We don't have anything this good in America. Outstanding guys.
Rina Hoshino !!! Go on girl, you're not of this world !!!!
That was awesome.
Funky And Smooth. Nicely Done.
Very wonderful sound and colors bursts of sound! Your music is top notch! You blend together nicely and the solos are perfect! The kimonos are nice touch and you girls look great!🌹🎵🎶🎵🎶🎶🎶😎
