Media Reviews and More: This highly anticipated piano trio masterpiece, a must-have for piano jazz fans, features Polish-born Adam Akowicz playing standards with George Mraz and Jack DeJohnette, and is finally available in Japan. Produced by two giants, Hank O'Neill and John Hammond. Recorded in 1981. (C)RS\u003cbr\u003e\nAbout the Artist: Chiaroscuro Records was founded in 1970 by producer Hank O'Neill, who later also worked as a photographer. The label's name comes from the Chiaroscuro Concerts held by Eddie Condon in the 1930s. Chiaroscuro actively records new recordings of veterans from the swing era, including Condon himself, and is a valuable label that preserves the golden age of American jazz. It is especially known for producing many works by pianists such as Teddy Wilson, Earl Hines, Dave McKenna, Ralph Sutton, and Mary Williams, and has long been popular in Japan, where there are many piano jazz fans. Furthermore, many of the early works were designed by David Stone Martin, a beloved jazz LP jacket designer, and both the content and the jackets are sure to appeal to Japanese jazz fans. Although O'Neill retired from the forefront after selling the label to Audiofile in 1978, Chiaroscuro has continued to be a high-quality American jazz label, focusing on promising young talents like Jack Wilkins and Bill Charlap, giving them opportunities to release their own leader albums, and continuing to release works by veteran pianists such as Junior Mance, Roger Kellaway, and Don Friedman, who are also part of the label's signature sound, with unwavering affection!\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"TOKYO JAPAN CD SHOP","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53227028906293,"sku":"4526180424833","price":2400.0,"currency_code":"JPY","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1011\/5966\/5973\/files\/51NMMx3V4LL._AC.jpg?v=1785376004","url":"https:\/\/tokyojapancdshop.com\/products\/4526180424833","provider":"TOKYO JAPAN CD SHOP","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
