(Music Publisher) This album is a collection of improvised piano pieces recorded at Cortes in Mito. I have performed here several times before with my Japan Quartet and the Reis Demus Wiltgent Trio. I was greatly influenced by Cortez and the warm hospitality of the owner, Mr. Ito, and this place has become like a second home to me. I dedicate this album to the city of Mito. - Michel Reis [Member] Michel Reis [Tracks] 1. Rising 10'50 2. Sunae 3'20 3. Forest Edge 6'35 4. Lost Temple 6'51 5. Looking Glass 4'19 6. Echoes 2'54 7.
