Traumerei

[Machine Translation] Vibraphonist Reiko Yamamoto, who shares a common backbone of studying classical music at a music college in Japan and jazz at Berklee College of Music in the U.S. ("Tempus Fugit", her first album was released in 2013 and ranked 10th on the 2013 Jazz Floor Annual Chart at Ginza Yamano Music Co. ) and pianist Takako Yamada hit it off after performing at a live house in Tokyo in 2017. As they performed more and more often, they were drawn to each other's sensibilities and decided to form a unit, taking the "mountain" and "child" that they share in their names. The two have arranged Beethoven's piano sonata "Pathetique" and Schumann's "Troimelije" with their own sensibilities, and also included their original compositions, which are popular at their live performances. Guest Aya Kurosawa's (vo) crystal voice adds to the sound. Recorded at OurDelight, a jazz live house with a reputation for its natural reverb, the realism and tension of the live performance make this a must-hear recording!

日本の音楽大学でクラシックを学び、アメリカのバークリー音楽大学でジャズを学んだという共通のバックボーンを持つ、ヴィブラフォン奏者の山本玲子 (2013年に1stアルバム『Tempus Fugit』をリリースし、銀座山野楽器で2013年ジャズフロア年間チャートの10位を記録)とピアニストの山田貴子が、2017年都内ライブハウスでの演奏をきっかけに意気投合。回を重ねるごとに互いの感性に惹かれてユニット化を決め、二人の名前で共通する"山"と"子"を取ってを結成する。そんな二人の感性で独自にアレンジした、ベートーヴェンのピアノソナタ『悲愴』やシューマン『トロイメライ』などに加えて、ライブでも人気の高い二人のオリジナル曲を収録。ゲストの黒沢綾 (vo)のクリスタルボイスが、そのサウンドに華を添える。ナチュラルリバーブに定評のあるジャズライブハウスOurDelightにて行われた、ライブさながらの臨場感と緊張感のある録音は必聴!
