Detailed Description
A best-of album featuring masterpieces and acclaimed performances from the jazz orchestra led by Toshiko Akiyoshi for 30 years. Simply listening to this one album makes it clear that Akiyoshi is a musician who holds a firm place in the history of jazz. Her ultimate originality in composition lies in bringing traditional Japanese music into big band jazz. "Kog Gun," which naturally transitions the melodies of Noh music into the sound of a jazz orchestra, possesses a freshness that has not faded no matter how much time has passed since its release in the 1970s.
"Children in the Temple Ground," based on the Fukushima folk song "Kanchororin Bushi," is also a masterpiece. In terms of arrangement technique, her trademark is the skillful layering of woodwind instruments. The supple yet strong woodwind ensemble can be heard throughout this album. She is also characterized by writing songs with a sense of story, including "Long Yellow Road," which depicts the journey of her own life. (Taiki Matsumoto)
Media Review, etc.
