Product Description
Content Introduction Sam Gendel, whose momentum shows no signs of slowing down, including his participation in Yuta Orisaka's music, has released a miraculous album created entirely through improvisation with an 11-year-old girl!! An overwhelming work that crystallizes the universal and fundamental beauty of art, making you ponder what creativity is, what imagination is, and why people create music!! Sam Gendel is releasing "Live a Little," a work he recorded with Antonia Citrinovic, who was 11 years old at the time. This work was recorded at Sam Gendel's home on a late summer afternoon, and it began naturally without any plan or discussion about "creating a work," ending when ideas ran out or when it felt finished?a completely improvised piece. (It is said that 1 to 3 parts were added to finish the recording). Moreover, despite Antonia having no musical education, she naturally wove melodies and lyrics to match Sam's playing, making this an astonishing work that captures that moment in the order it was recorded. Sam Gendel has previously garnered high praise for works such as "Satin Doll," the epic "Fresh Bread," and "Music for Saxophone & Bass Guitar" with Sam Wilkes, and his participation in Yuta Orisaka's music has further increased his recognition in Japan. However, this album is different from all of those works. It is a moving piece that crystallizes the universal and fundamental beauty of art, making one ponder what creativity is, what imagination is, and why people create music. I thought it was too good to be true that Sam Gendel was led to perform by a melody and lyrics hummed by an 11-year-old girl. But this album certainly captures that miraculous and beautiful exchange of improvisation. I believe this album will remain in Sam Gendel's discography as the most imaginative and hopeful work.
