Noyuri

[Machine Translation] In 1992, Akira Miyazawa produced this supreme duo work with Tsuyoshi Shibuya, produced by Maki Asakawa. This is a rare CD reissue of a collection of infinitely beautiful and masterful performances, in which the painstaking exchanges between the duo are deeply felt. The CD reissue of "No Yuri", the first work of the memorable Zero Hour series by Akira Miyazawa and Tsuyoshi Shibuya in their later years! Miyazawa's mature and "alive" tenor saxophone blows and Shibuya's full touch on the piano create a swinging, yet somehow sad, collection of performances filled with the charm of jazz that still hasn't faded away. In particular, the melancholy of Shibuya's composition "Beyond The Flames" is a masterful performance, immersing the listener in a sense of tension and satisfaction that only a duo can provide. The gentle tone of this work is especially impressive among Akira Miyazawa's works, as if it is a comfortable work that can be played by anyone.
