Nobuo Hara and Sharps \u0026amp; Flats, a long-time leader of the Japanese big band world, performed at the Montreux Jazz Festival in 1982, one of the three major jazz festivals in the world. Despite the fact that the live performance was a great success, the recording had been lost for about 40 years without being made available to the public. After Hara's death, the sound source was discovered by chance in 2022, and now it is being released for the long-awaited release! Columbia has a number of Sharp's masterpieces including \"Sharps and Flats in Newport\" from 1967, and this time, too, the lineup is filled with Hara's desire for \"jazz music born in Japan, not imitating or following the U.S. forever\" and weaves together standards and Japanese melodies. We hope you will enjoy the refined sound of Sharp in the 1980s and the realism and exuberance of a live performance.Liner notes: Tatsuya Nagato (Jazz Writer)1982.7.20 at Montreux Jazz Festival, Switzerland Live recording [Performers] Nobuo Hara, Yosuke Karaki(ts)Hajime Maekawa, Koji Suzuki(as)Nobuyuki Morikawa(bs)Tadao Taniyama, Shunji Sato, Hiroaki Inaba, Junichiro Murakami(tb) Shuzo Morikawa, Teruyuki Fukushima, Koyama Nobuo, Mitsukuni Kihata(tp)Yoshio Nakamura(ds)Junichi Kobayashi(b)Kazuhiko Kawakami(g)Takeshi Kabaike(p)Guest: Yuri Tashiro(org)\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Columbia","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50275457335585,"sku":"4549767330051","price":32.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0568\/8482\/2076\/files\/4549767330051.jpg?v=1725775315","url":"https:\/\/cdsvinyljapan.com\/en-ca\/products\/4549767330051","provider":"CDs Vinyl Japan Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
