Formed in Tokyo, the jump blues & swing band, BLOODEST SAXOPHONE has been playing old-school vintage sounds since 1998. The group's leader, Young Corn Shintaro, established the band with the ambition "to rule the world with the saxophone." Young Corn Shintaro says “Jump Blues and Swing Jazz bring out the soul of the tenor saxophone, especially when jumpin’’.
The group does not think of themselves as playing old music but instead just time traveled from the days when Illinois Jacquet and Arnett Cobb were around. Their first album “Blood-est” was released in 2003; to date they have released 12 albums and appeared on 18 compilations. Their music has been enchanting not only old school blues/jazz lovers but also rock ‘n’ roll, rockabilly fans and mods alike; the band’s fiery performance at the event “Mods May Day” is a history.
At the end of 2018, the band reunited with the singer Crystal Thomas, one of the featured singers on their album “Texas Queens 5” and successfully toured Japan and Hong Kong. In 2019, they welcomed Chrystal again to play Fuji Rock Festival, a full show to celebrate the 25th anniversary of Blues & Soul Records Magazine at Shibuya Club Quattro, as well as Setouchi Beach Jam in Onomichi city, Hiroshima, and the Memphis Brothers, Shimokitazawa, Tokyo. In 2019, they once again flew to Austin and played East Side King Festival.
And now..... here they are gving you Extreme Heat!
