Product Description
Content Introduction "Pop, simple, and easy to understand," this is the third installment of the "JAZZ" series, taking a different approach from the previous two works. Unlike previous works that featured up-and-coming musicians and vocalists, this album completely excludes them and focuses on a piano trio. Brass is added to some tracks, resulting in a soulful and pop sound unlike anything before. It is, so to speak, "dynamic 'JAZZ'." All tracks are instrumental, including four newly written pieces. Amazon Review A legitimate jazz album featuring music from "Lupin the Third" by the trio of Yuji Ohno, a composer who is extremely famous for his work on "Lupin the Third," "The Inugami Family," "Proof of the Man," "A Small Journey," and "Mizumore Kosuke." It is a huge hit, recording sales that are rare for a jazz CD in recent years. It is true that some people may frown upon it because it is a product of the "Lupin effect." However, he is currently the most popular jazz pianist in the Japanese jazz live scene, enjoyed by both young people and the general public, and he himself composes the music for Lupin III, so there's really nothing to criticize. More than anything, and this might be an exaggeration, but for jazz music in Japan, which is arguably on its last legs, isn't someone like him necessary to break down the strange preconceptions that have become deeply ingrained in Japan?the tendency to categorize music into genres?and to allow people to simply enjoy music? (Takeshi Takayama)
