Description:
The image of the harmonica will change. The beautiful tone and deep expressive power beyond your imagination woven by a small instrument. Nostalgic and new. An inspiring piece of music that heals as well as touches the heart with the power of music." I never thought the harmonica could express so much. The sound produced from a small instrument expands beyond the listener's imagination. This is the birth of a piece of music filled with such surprise and excitement. This album contains mainly well-known songs from classical music, jazz, and traditional music, and the variety of tones produced by Kaoru's chromatic harmonica and the lyricism of his singing heart breathe new life into the nostalgic melodies. The harmonica has an image of being a "simple instrument," but this album transcends that image and fully expresses the depth and breadth of the instrument as a musical instrument. The harmonica used is the Grace No. 7, a chromatic harmonica customized by Koei Tanaka, a leading figure in the jazz harmonica world. The music selection transcends genres to take full advantage of its rich sound and expressive power, which is also a major attraction. Support is provided by top-notch jazz musicians, and the presence of guitarist Daisuke Abe, who has been active in the New York jazz scene, is a highlight. His solid, core guitar playing firmly supports the entire album, and he also adds depth and color to the music by using not only electric guitars but also 19th century antique guitars and classical guitars. In addition, three original compositions by pianist/composer Yasushi Sugiyama are a must-hear. While incorporating the essence of jazz and fusion, the lightness and warmth of the sound envelops the listener comfortably and leaves a gentle aftertaste. Three classical pieces are accompanied by Kaoru's own piano and harmonica, and the clear tone of his chromatic harmonica and the melody spun like a supple song create a fresh sound that cannot be experienced on any other instrument, and furthermore, a sense of unity with the piano that is careful and delicate, The careful and delicate integration with the piano gives the music a high quality transparency. The careful and delicate integration with the piano gives the piece a high quality transparency. The expressive and musical possibilities of the chromatic harmonica are brought out to the fullest, resulting in a rare album with a dignified sound and deep reverberations. We hope you will experience the great power of this small instrument in this album.
