■ Album Content
Rene Paulo, a leading Hawaiian pianist celebrating his 85th birthday. His new album, his first in 2 years and 8 months since his previous work, is a collection of jazz standards.
At 18, he entered the prestigious Juilliard School of Music, studying classical music including composition, arrangement, and conducting. However, he became interested in jazz, which was popular in New York at the time.
"I was strongly attracted to jazz improvisation. I often listened to Art Tatum, Fats Waller, Earl Hines, and others. I also played standard songs, and I liked Cole Porter, Duke Ellington, and George Gershwin."
In the 1950s, he came to Japan as a military musician for the U.S. military, participating in the group "Six Joes" led by Shin Watanabe while working for the military. He also developed a close friendship with Hachidai Nakamura.
