Usually ships within 1-5 business days [New, Unopened Item] "Jazz x Classical Fusion, Culminating Here!!" The long-awaited second album from "Classical Trio," led by violinist Junko Makiyama, who pioneers jazz on a classical background. Compared to the previous work, it has evolved intensely, to the point of feeling like a mutation. Not only Makiyama, but the deep understanding of the trio by Naruyoshi Nakabayashi (vc) and Tatsuya Harada (pf), and the participation of master drummer/percussionist Kenta Okamoto, are significant. The way elegant masterpieces are boldly transformed by the outstanding technique of these four people not only surprises listeners but also provides a delicate sense of humor, like an Escher's optical illusion. This expansion is likely due to the sense of unity achieved by the three members. "Musical fusion" has not only evolved but also deepened. Hiroshi Kawasaki Released in November 2022, the album "Classical Trio." With your support, we are now releasing the second installment, "Classical Trio 2." In this work, in addition to the trio of classmates, Kenta Okamoto on percussion and drums has joined. The sound has become even richer than the previous work. In addition to classical pieces, three original songs are also included. We are further advancing the fusion of classical and jazz. The concept of this unit is to deliver familiar classical masterpieces in a fresh way through jazz arrangements. It is about enjoying live, raw music that breathes in improvisation, a once-in-a-lifetime encounter. 2024 has begun with turbulent events. I sincerely hope that music will be a source of healing and energy for everyone.
