Description:

The long-awaited first solo album by guitarist/arranger Hiroyuki Kubota, featuring his 20-year friend and trumpeter Yusuke Shima as producer, 12 songs selected from the coolest 2-day session with the best young drummer Chisho Matsuura and bassist Toyo. Hiroyuki Kubota's long-awaited first work as a solo artist. This is his first solo album as a guitarist and composer. The album is a collection of 12 songs selected from two days of intense and supremely cool sessions with the best young drummer Chisho Matsuura and bassist Toyo, with Yusuke Shima (trumpet and flute), a close friend of 20 years, as producer. Hiroyuki Kubota's sense as a creator, which is based on jazz but combines all genres including neo-soul, funk, jazz, and fusion into pop, and his guitar, which has a wide variety of expression and warmth from traditional jazz to soulful approach, are brilliant.When he lived in New York, he taught Robert Glasper two-five-one phrases! He has such a deep knowledge of jazz that he taught Robert Glasper two-five-one phrases when he was living in New York, and he is highly praised by musicians for his great sense of music.
