Following last year’s 20th anniversary of her major-label debut, this year marks another major milestone—the 25th anniversary of her musical career—making this the second consecutive year of celebrations. To commemorate this illustrious journey, her new album, *Happy-Go-Lucky*, is now available.\n\nThis album serves as a definitive collection of the repertoire that Yamanaka—who has remained at the forefront of live performance for 25 years—wishes to share with her audience “right now,” ranging from songs she has performed live since her debut to the staples that color her current stage performances. It vividly portrays the music he has honed on stage over the years and nurtured alongside his fans, presented with his current sensibilities and performance style.\n\nThe album features Keith Jarrett’s “Memories of Tomorrow,” Carla Bley’s “Lawns,” Bill Evans and Miles Davis’s “Blue in Green,” George Russell’s “Living Time Event V,” Eliane Elias’s “Impulsive,” and George Gershwin’s “Summertime”—all masterpieces that have graced the history of jazz. Furthermore, the album features a diverse array of tracks, ranging from the vibrant Brazilian music of Amilton Godoy’s “Choro” and Julian “J3PO” Pollack’s “Silver Lining” to Yamanaka’s original composition “Beverly” and even “Jingle Bells.” Yamanaka weaves together songs from different eras and styles with her signature bold yet meticulous arrangements, creating an album that transcends genres and generations.\n\nThe band features Yoshi Waki (b) and John Davis (ds), who have supported Yamanaka’s music for many years. Centered around Yamanaka’s versatile piano and keyboard playing, the trio delivers a powerful groove and tight interplay. Looking back on her 25-year career while continuing to evolve, this anniversary album vividly captures Chihiro Yamanaka’s “present” and is packed with highlights.\n\nPersonnel:\nChihiro Yamanaka: Piano, Keyboard\nYoshi Waki: Bass\nJohn Davis: Drums\n\nProduced by Chihiro Yamanaka\nMastered by Steve Fallon\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTracklisting:\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1.Memories of Tomorrow\u003cbr\u003e2.Choro\u003cbr\u003e3.Lawns\u003cbr\u003e4.Beverly\u003cbr\u003e5.Blue in Green\u003cbr\u003e6.Living Time Event V\u003cbr\u003e7.Silver Lining\u003cbr\u003e8.Jingle Bells\u003cbr\u003e9.Impulsive\u003cbr\u003e10.Summertime\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Universal Music","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53485794328865,"sku":"4988031900499","price":25.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0568\/8482\/2076\/files\/4988031900499.jpg?v=1789046563","url":"https:\/\/cdsvinyljapan.com\/en-de\/products\/4988031900499","provider":"CDs Vinyl Japan Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
