Description

[Machine Translation] It wants to be on the same ground as Esperanza and Solange. Their voices and pianos filled with freshness melt into a beautiful gradation of monochrome. The rain of modern soul that falls on the land of Afro-jazz will eventually run down your cheeks into a river. A new talent from South Africa with a gifted voice, solid performance ability, and overwhelming production skills. Despite the differences in genres and regions, the world is now beginning to pay attention to this artist, who shares the same intelligent and charming charm as contemporaries such as Solange, Janelle Monae, and Esperanza Spalding. Having studied at the University of Cape Town with Kyle Shepherd, Shane Cooper, Bokani Dyer, and others of the golden generation of contemporary South African jazz, this intrepid pianist has been working on this epic work since the release of her debut album in 2014. The arrangements are deep and nostalgic, inheriting Bheki Mseleku's warm and enveloping musicality, and the melodies are strong, clear, and eloquent, reminding us of the preciousness of the faraway land, and speak to us as if they represent her life and thoughts in this time and place, South Africa. The narrative is gentle and intimate, but the world depicted in this work is unbelievably grandiose and unfolds on a scale that one would hardly expect from a single pianist. Recorded in Johannesburg, the album features Benjamin Jephta, Sisonke Xonti, Tlale Makhene, and many other local talents, and encompasses today's young South African jazz scene. Of special note is the poetry provided by poet Lebo Mashile. The poems bring even more depth and passion to this work, which combines a profound worldview with a fresh mood.
Note: This is an import edition (manufactured outside of Japan).

Description in Japanese

Exiled / タンディ・ントゥリ

エスペランサやソランジュと同じ地平を望んでいる。瑞々しさに満ちた声とピアノは、モノクロームの美しいグラデーションに溶けていく。アフロ・ジャズの地に降るモダン・ソウルの雨は、やがてあなたの頬を伝う河へと。恵まれた"声"と、確かな演奏能力、そして圧倒的ともいえるプロデュース能力を兼ね備えた、南アフリカの新たな才能。ジャンルや地域は違えど、同世代のSolangeやJanelle Monae、Esperanza Spaldingらにも共通した、知的でチャーミングな魅力を持ったこのアーティストに、いま世界中が注目をし始めています。ケープタウンの大学でKyle Shepherd、Shane Cooper、Bokani Dyerらの現代南アジャズ黄金世代と共に学び、クラッシックからジャズの世界へと飛び込んでいったこの勇敢なピアニストは、2014年のデビューアルバム発表以降、この超大作に取り組んでいました。Bheki Mselekuの包み込む様な温かい音楽性を継承した懐の深いアレンジと、遠くまで望む大地の尊さを想わせる雄弁で筋の通った強く透き通ったメロディーは、この時代に、南アフリカという地で生きる彼女の人生、思想を代弁する様に、我々に語りかけます。その語り口はとても穏やかで親密なものですが、この作品が描き出す世界は信じ難い程に壮大で、ひとりのピアニストから生み出されたものとは到底想えないスケールで展開していきます。ヨハネスブルグで録音されたこのアルバムには、Benjamin Jephta、Sisonke Xonti、Tlale Makheneをはじめとする地元の腕利き達が多数参加しており、今日の若い南アフリカのジャズシーンを包括した様な内容となっています。特筆すべきは詩人のLebo Mashileによる詩の提供。深遠な世界観と瑞々しいムードが同居するこの作品に、更なる深みと情熱をもたらしています。
