This new release—her first self-produced project in three years—features eight tracks centered on songs she has long performed live.\nShe recorded the album with trusted musicians she has frequently performed with live, including Takeshi Obayashi, Taka Nawashiro, Gene Jackson, and Kan.\nAs evidenced by the cover selections—including Minnie Riperton’s “Les Fleurs” and Roy Ayers’ “Searching”—the album is rooted in jazz but features a bright, open sound that draws more heavily on the essence of ’70s soul, soul jazz, and Brazilian music than her previous work.\nThe album title “Garden” evokes the image of an inner space—an inner garden—where the seeds planted within her by the people she has encountered and the experiences she has had throughout her life, as well as those who have passed on, gradually blossom over time—a place where this inner space intersects with the changes of the outside world.\n\nKona Ishikawa: bass, vocals\nTakashi Obayashi: piano, Fender Rhodes on tracks 2, 3, 7\nTaka Nawashiro: acoustic \u0026amp; electric guitar on tracks 4, 5, 7, 8\nMasato Mori: drums on tracks 2, 7\nGene Jackson: drums on tracks 3, 6\nKan: percussion on tracks 1–5, 7, 8\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTracklisting:\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1.Les Fleurs\u003cbr\u003e2.Erica\u003cbr\u003e3.Animara\u003cbr\u003e4.In the Rain\u003cbr\u003e5.Searching\u003cbr\u003e6.Time's Lie\u003cbr\u003e7.Witch of the North\u003cbr\u003e8.Oyasumi\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Universal Music","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53419034640673,"sku":"4988031881781","price":3520.0,"currency_code":"JPY","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0568\/8482\/2076\/files\/4988031881781.jpg?v=1788219824","url":"https:\/\/cdsvinyljapan.com\/products\/4988031881781","provider":"CDs Vinyl Japan Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
