Following the 2018 "Kitty Suite / Nobumasa Tanaka Trio Operation Failure," the second installment of the Kitty Suite is "The Birth of Kitty / Nobumasa Tanaka," rendered as a piano-and-violin duo. It is a grand, fictional soundtrack work depicting the origin of the wandering life story of "Kitty," a woman tossed about by the masses. An originality-filled work that fully captures the current standpoint of pianist Nobumasa Tanaka -- who won the Grand Prix and the individual Best Player Award at the first Yokohama Jazz Promenade Competition -- from conception and construction through to performance.
