Echo, a project from producers/multi instrumentalists JOY ASKEW & TAKUYA NAKAMURA, a seductive fusion of tradicional vocal jazz and downtempo electronic grooves.
On their eponymous debut, the New York duo puts a mesmerizing stamp on carefully-chosen jazz standards, as well as captivating originals. Echo was born from NYC's live drum & bass scene. Askew initially discovered Nakamura playing trumpet and keyboards at the SoHo nightclub Shine's popular party "Prohibited Beatz". The rotating live line-up of DJs, MCs, and diverse musicians inspired Askew instantly, because it reminded her of one of her biggest influences: Miles Davis' late-'60s electric period (In A Silent Way, Bitches Brew).
"At Shine I was seeing jazz re-emerging in a fresh way, because there's so much more technology to play with, and so many different directions you can go in, with drum and bass rhythms, and all the possibilities offered by electronics."
Askew and Nakamura began to collaborate. One afternoon at Askew's apartment, Nakamura played her a new track he'd been working on. "It was this great, bubbly rhythm," she recalls, and it inspired her to start singing the Cole Porter standard "I've Got You Under My Skin." The two seemingly disparate components fit hand-in-glove, and "within 20 minutes, we'd almost recorded the whole thing." By marrying the relaxed rhythmic undercurrents and cutting-edge production techniques with more-traditional songwriting, the pair had hit upon a unique direction for Echo.
One of the album's most affecting (and revealing) tracks is the moody, sensually rhythmic "Secret Self," inspired by Askew's long-standing love of Beat Generation authors like Allen Ginsberg, William S. Burroughs, and Jack Kerouac. In fact, the specific impetus, according to the singer, was listening to the excerpt "Jazz of the Beat Generation" from the CD "Jack Kerouac Reads On The Road".
Besides his current work with live drum and bass act Nerve and neo-soul outfit Organic Grooves, Takuya Nakamura has played with such jazz notables as flugelhorn great Clark Terry, drummer/arranger Bob Moses, and saxophonist Ravi Coltrane.

--------------------------------------------
ECHO was born in France during the year of 1971 and in the 1990's he played with several pop bands as both a bassist and a guitarist, however he always felt slightly frustrated that somehow he could not quite express himself fully. So three years ago he shut himself in a room and began the journey in nurturing his craft, where he developed into the outstanding musical producer that we see today.
Myspace gave ECHO the opportunity to gain exposure and within four months, he had obtained world wide air play and interest from record companies in the U.S, Germany and of course his native France.
Can also be found on last.fm as Echo (Fr) & Echo Armando, although officially it's just 'Echo'.

Echo Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Passing every day
Wish that I could have you
Tell me you will stay
Every single moment
Having thoughts of you
Seems like we are connected
Through mysterious glooms
Lets make up the plans
We could be together
By the end of times
When the night time
Comes unsettling
And the pillows witness the mess
Hold on tight
Let go and dream
That's when we connect
And a new day
Will come, surely
Until we dream again

Seasons through my windows
I see the passing of time and changing seasons as I look out my window
Passing every day
Each day goes by quickly and without pause
Wish that I could have you
I desire to have you in my life
Tell me you will stay
Please assure me that you won't leave
Every single moment
In every instant of my existence
Having thoughts of you
My mind is constantly filled with thoughts of you
Seems like we are connected
It feels as if we have a deep, unexplainable bond
Through mysterious glooms
Despite the unknown shadows that surround us
Call me every morning
Start each day by reaching out to me
Lets make up the plans
Let's create our future together
We could be together
There is a possibility for us to be united
By the end of times
Until the end of our lives
When the night time
During the darkness of night
Comes unsettling
Becomes filled with unease and uncertainty
And the pillows witness the mess
As I lie in bed, my tangled emotions are witnessed by the pillows
Hold on tight
Stay strong and hold onto each other firmly
Let go and dream
Release your worries and allow yourself to enter a dreamlike state
That's when we connect
It is in that moment that our connection is strengthened
And a new day
With the dawn of a new day
Will come, surely
It will arrive without a doubt
Until we dream again
Until we experience another dream
