Maiden Voyage [Cardboard Sleeve] [SACD Hybrid]

[Machine Translation] A "prince" has arrived in the jazz world! The amazing new pianist is a beautiful 15-year-old boy! The debut album is supported by Ron Carter, a leading bassist in the jazz world, and Billy Kilson, a very talented and popular drummer. The fact that Ron Carter is the bassist for a teenage newcomer alone indicates the high expectations for this album. The fresh touch, crisp speed, and innovative interpretation of the music. The performance is so calm that it is hard to believe that this is a newcomer, and he has the guts to stand up to his seniors in the jazz world without hesitation. It's no wonder that one might be tempted to ask, "Is this really his debut album? Austin, who says, "Chopin, McCoy Tyner, and Herbie Hancock were my biggest influences," is a professional pianist, and it will be interesting to see how he deals with "The Virgin Voyage" (by Herbie Hancock) and "Passion Dance" (by McCoy Tyner), the title piece of this album. How does he face the film? Recorded September 27, 2005 in New York City. Recorded in New York City on September 27, 2005 in a W-style paper jacket.

ジャズ界に"王子様"現る! 驚異の新人ピアニストは15歳の美少年! デビュー作を支えるのはジャズ界の重鎮ベーシスト、ロン・カーターと凄腕人気ドラマーのビリー・キルソン。 ロン・カーターが10代の新人のベーシストを務めているというだけでも、期待度の高さがうかがい知れる。 瑞々しいタッチ、キレの良いスピード感、そして斬新な解釈。 新人とは思えないほど落ち着いた演奏で、ジャズ界の先輩たちにも臆せず堂々と渡り合う度胸の良さは"本当にこれがデビュー作?"と耳を疑いたくなっても不思議ではない。 「ショパン、マッコイ・タイナー、ハービー・ハンコックに最も影響を受けた」と語るオースティンが今作のタイトル曲でもある『処女航海』(ハービー・ハンコック作)と『パッション・ダンス』(マッコイ・ダイナー作)にひとりのプロ・ピアニストという立場でどう向き合っているのか注目。 2005年9月27日、NYにて録音。 W式紙ジャケット仕様。
