Kyoto Jazz Massive is a Japanese musical project specialising in crossover jazz and electronic styles. The group was formed in 1992 and consists of brothers Shuya[1] and Yoshihiro Okino. They have also included Hajime Yoshizawa, a piano producer, on a number of works.[2] Although the brothers DJed in the late 1980s and were remixing and composing as far back as the early 1990s, they were largely popularised by the British Radio 1 DJ Gilles Peterson around 2001.[3]
