Description

[Machine Translation] This album features the best takes from the trio's three consecutive performances in October 2011 at the long-established New York club "Ilidium" with Obed Calvaire (ds) and Janek Gwizdala (b), which drew much attention as a new Katsumi trio. The legendary jazz guitarist Les Paul played there regularly every week until his death in 2009, and the live performance at the Iridium, a sacred place for guitarists, was also the subject of a film released as a tribute gig to Jeff Beck. The trio's interplay, which gradually heats up, overwhelms the audience in the relaxed atmosphere of a cozy jazz club. As if in response to the billboard titled "The Legendary Jazz Fusion Guitarist," Katsumi performed a well-honed performance of standard numbers by Miles, Coltrane, and others, as well as her own signature tunes, including "Manhattan Flute Dance" and "Unicorn. The trio's Japan tour for the release of their album "Tricolor" also drew attention for the exquisite combination of Obed's grooving drums and the London-born bassist Janek, who has been a member of the rhythm section for many years. Katsumi says, "I can expose myself more freely when I perform overseas," and her guitar playing was free to flow with the free space provided by the trio, the smallest of the band's configurations. This is the definitive live album by the jazz guitar trio, which allows the audience to experience the sense of unity that only a live performance can bring, with its improvisation, rhythm section interplay, Obed's exclamations, Janek's coolness, and the audience's excitement. The album will be released in the U.S. this winter! MUSICIANS:Katsumi Watanabe ( g ) Janek Gwizdala ( b ) Obed Carvelle ( ds )

Live at Iridium / 渡辺香津美

新たな香津美のトリオとして話題を呼んだオベド・カルヴェール(ds)、ヤネク・グウィズダーラ(b)とのニューヨークの老舗クラブ「イリディウム」での2011年10月の3日連続公演からのベストテイクをアルバム化。伝説のジャズ・ギタリスト、レス・ポールが亡くなる'09年まで毎週レギュラーで出演し、そのトリビュート・ギグとしてリリースされたジェフ・ベックの映像作品でも話題となったギタリストの聖地・イリディウムでのライブは、コージーなジャズクラブのリラックスした雰囲気の中、次第に白熱するトリオのインタープレイが聴衆を圧倒する。「The Legendary Jazz Fusion Guitarist」と銘打たれたビルボードに応えるように、マイルズ~コルトレーンらのスタンダードナンバーから自身の代表曲、「マンハッタン・フルー・ダンス」「ユニコーン」までを研ぎすまされた演奏で繰り広げる香津美。同トリオではアルバム「トリコ・ロール」リリース時の来日公演でも、グルーヴしながら叩きまくるオベドのドラムと、長年のリズムセクションを組むロンドン生まれのベース、ヤネクとの絶妙なコンビネーションが話題となった。「海外公演の方が気負わずに自分をさらけ出せる」と語る香津美のギターは最小のバンド構成であるトリオの自由な空間を得て、まさにフレーズがほとばしる、という表現に相応しい展開を見せる。繰り出される即興とリズムセクションの絡み、オベドの絶叫とヤネクのクールネス、さらにはオーディエンスの盛り上がりなどライブならではの一体感を体感できるジャズギタートリオによる決定版ライブ・アルバム。この冬,全米でもリリース決定!!! MUSICIANS:渡辺香津美(G)ヤネク・グウィズダーラ(b)オベド・カルヴェール(ds)
