Description

[Machine Translation] This is the first analog release of the extremely rare live album by Akira Miyazawa (1927-2000), the legendary tenor saxophonist born in the Japanese jazz world, featuring his dynamic and creative playing. Recorded in 1989, with a double commentary by Dr. Jazz's Osamu Uchida and leading jazz journalist Noriyoshi Koyama (written in 2002), the album features a live performance in Hamamatsu, Japan, in December 1989. The sound of the instruments is so clear that it could be mistaken for a studio recording. The members are Masahiko Kozu (drums), who made his debut with the Miyazawa Band and played with Ornette Coleman and Sarah Vaughan, and Harumi Takeuchi (piano) and Shunsuke Takeuchi (bass), who have performed in Hamamatsu and elsewhere. The band performed a variety of tunes including "Green Dolphin Street," a sax solo, Ellington's famous song "In a Sentimental Mood," an original song "Baby Seahorse," and "If I Ever I Wood Leave You," from the musical "Camelot. The superb tenor saxophone tone is heard in all of the tunes. This product will be delivered on or after the day of release.
