Far Distance Of Sea Lane

[Machine Translation] Masahiro Sayama, one of Japan's leading jazz pianists, left two songs in his later years. These two songs, "Kouro ni yositaite" and "Hana no ariran," have poems, but there was no album that included them as songs yet. Although there are poems for these two songs, they have not yet been recorded as songs on an album. Following Masahiro Sayama's wishes, Sayaka Matsuoka and Hideo Takahashi, who look up to him as their mentor, recorded this album with Kegoi on drums and the clear voice of Jeonsaki Ai from the Korean High School. Both songs are in Japanese and Korean versions. Hana Arirang" also includes a version by Kim Cheol-ui, who wrote the poem for the song. This album is Masahiro Sayama's last view of the world, and his last memory of the music world.

日本を代表するジャズピアニスト佐山雅弘が晩年に残した二つの曲。「航路に寄せて」と「花アリラン」。この二つには詩が存在するものの、歌として収録されたアルバムはまだ存在しなかった。佐山雅弘の想いを継いで、彼を師と仰ぐ松岡佐也可と高橋秀夫がKegoiをドラムに迎え、朝鮮高級学校の全咲愛のその透き通る歌声で収録したアルバム。二曲とも日本語と韓国語バージョン。「花アリラン」は、その詩を担当した金哲義版も収録。このアルバムは、佐山雅弘が最後に見続けた景色であり、音楽界に託された忘れ形見でもある。
