Description:

The first leader album by up-and-coming jazz pianist and vocalist Seiya Matsushita. The rare male player and wordsmith in the jazz world fuses singing and instrumental music. The chemical reaction between the promising newcomer and two talented veteran musicians is also remarkable. Seiya Matsushita, an up-and-coming jazz musician and one of the few "male guitarists" in the jazz world, has produced his debut album with full anticipation. In addition to playing jazz standards, which is his forte, Matsushita also composes his own music, creating a unique worldview with memorable melodic themes and a high degree of freedom in his improvisations. The original song Oasis has already been released on another album, but this take on the song has been given a new form with new English lyrics by Hitomi Watase. The royal standard is carefully sung straight-ahead from the verse in a one-of-a-kind voice that is both straight and delicate, and one can feel the respect for the history of jazz music to date. In addition, What's going on, which is positioned as a soul standard, is also included. The album's various appearances, including originals, standards, instrumentals, songs, and odd time signatures, show that his music is borderless, and that a new era of musicians has arrived.The recording members are, needless to say, some of Japan's most talented musicians. It goes without saying that the smoldering performance of bassist Yosuke Inoue and drummer Shinnosuke Takahashi gives his music great power. The chemical reaction between the promising newcomer and the two talented veteran musicians is also attracting attention.
