Jazz, Hip Hop, Soul, Funk, R&B

Nautilus is a trio centered around drummer Toshiyuki Sasaki, formed in 2014 along with its Bassist Shigeki Umezawa and Keyboardist Daisuke Takeuchi. Their distinctive style, which can be summarized as the modern rare groove, embodies a mixture of jazz, funk, disco music, soul, and even hip hop. The conception of Nautilus is drawn not only from the composition “Nautilus” written by Bob James, but also from an American submarine that actually existed.
