12 (Tweleve)

[Machine Translation] Pianist Junko Onishi has been making a splash with the release of her first trio album in eight years, "Glamorous Life" (SCOL1025), and the ballad collection "Very Special" (SCOL1024), which coincided with the 25th anniversary of her debut in 2017. Her next project, which is attracting a lot of attention, is a royal sextet with three pipes and a trio. Onishi has studied with legends such as Freddie Hubbard, Jackie McLean, and Joe Henderson, and has released many albums with wind instruments, and it is well known that her absolute pianism is not limited to small and large ensembles. For this album, top Japanese players who are currently active in the field have gathered together, and all the pieces were written by each of them. This is a special project that will allow you to enjoy the unprecedented chemical reactions of "12" from swing to electric to contemporary. Total of 12 songs are included.
