Love Knot

[Machine Translation] The three primary colors of sound (RGB) weave a "bond of love (love knot)", a magical sound talisman that makes your wishes come true. This is the second album by Hiro Yamanaka (g), who made his debut as a leader with "Sorry I'm Late" under the name of The KANKAWA Trio in 2010, a unique collection of standards featuring keyboard harmonica, bass, and guitar, which became Hiro's starting point. This work was produced by Hiro Yamanaka, who has been working as the right hand man of organist KANKAWA for 8 years, as a milestone of his 10th anniversary as a professional musician. While the content is ideal for jazz beginners and music education material, the concept of the album is to bring the true joy of jazz to the forefront and not restrict the audience to any particular style of listening. Hiro Yamanaka, who also works as a music writer Hiroyuki Yamanaka, has contributed many articles to Jazz guitar book, Jazz Life magazine, and various liner notes, and has gained the support of a wide range of readers.
