As One

[Machine Translation] This is an album by Ann, who is based at MOTION BLUE YOKOHAMA and Shibuya JZ Brat. Ayako Sumi, a vocalist who has sung soul and blues, is accompanied by Norihiko Kawakubo, a jazz pianist, and Noriyuki Sugata, a rock drummer, who sometimes manipulates her and sometimes is manipulated by her, and like a boy changing from boy to adult during adolescence, they play their original songs written by Ayako Sumi without any pretensions and without being bound by any framework. Included is "Journeyman", which has been long awaited for a CD release.

MOTION BLUE YOKOHAMAや渋谷JZ Bratを拠点に活動するAnnのアルバム。ソウル、ブルースを歌ってきたヴォーカルのスミ☆アヤコが、ジャズ・ピアニストの川久保典彦と、ロック・ドラマーの菅田典幸を引き連れ、時に操り、時に操られ、思春期に少年から大人に変わるように、けがれもないままに、スミアヤコが書くオリジナル曲を中心に、枠にとらわれず純粋に音を奏でている。CD化が待望されていた「Journeyman」を収録。
