Limited-edition SHM-CD Reissue!
When this debut album of Japanese pianist Yoshiko Kishino was issued in 1995 by the fabled GRP label, jazz fans in her native country--including yours truly--were pleasantly surprised. Virtually unknown until then, she went to New York and recorded with the best of the best: Eddie Gomez and Marc Johnson on bass, Lewis Nash and Peter Erskine on drums, and Michael Brecker on tenor sax. No, it doesn't get much better than that.
As she was heavily influenced by Bill Evans, it must have been a dream come true--thus the album title--and also a daunting task for her to play with Evans' two former bassists. But not only she held her own against these formidable musicians, in my opinion she created one of the best piano jazz albums in the 1990s.
Listen to her "duel" with the powerful Eddie Gomez on the opening "Beautiful Love" when Lewis Nash, who also adds a great brush solo here, lays out for a chorus. Listen to her strong sense of swing on Evans-composed "Funkallero." Impressively, Kishino also wrote four originals and arranged all songs.
Superbly recorded and mastered with JVC's "20bit K2 Super Coding" system, now available on superior-sounding SHM-CD format! It will please audiophiles as well as discerning jazz fans. Highly recommended!
Recorded in New York, April 1995. This SHM-CD reissue CD released by Universal Music Japan in June, 2009. SHM-CD (Super High Material CD) is an improved version of the Compact Disc that uses higher quality, more transparent polycarbonate material. It is compatible with any regular CD player. | | Eastwind Import Price: | |
