Description:
Long-awaited new release by pianist Yukari Sekiya, deepening the sound of pauses and swells! A duo with 8 unique musicians, a 2-disc set of 16 songs! Pianist Yukari Sekiya's long-awaited leader album after 14 years is a 2-disc set of duo albums with 8 musicians with whom she has been deepening her collaboration in recent years. 16 original pieces in total, Disc 1 Till Now "Up to Now", Disc 2 From Here "From Here", are improvised takes on simple motifs to the delicate sound composition of addictions. The 16 original songs range from improvisational takes on simple motifs, to addictive songs with delicate sound structures, to melodically enveloping ballads, and encompass 20 years of activity. The recording was made in May 2024 at the Spinning Mill, a historic building in Sakai, Osaka. The result is a spacious space with high ceilings and plenty of airy resonance. The eight highly sensitive musicians active in the field of jazz improvisation are Taiichi Mimamura (ss, ts), who is also an Ornette Coleman scholar; Yuzumi Tanimukai (vo), who has unwavering expressiveness; Michihiro Morisada (b), a leading free improviser; and Shuya Morishita (gt), who has an introspective ensemble sensibility. The cover is an abstract painting by Yuka Iwase, a painter. [RECOMMENDATIONS] After her sound passes by, a sweet poison melting into the fresh breeze deceives me. I find myself lost in the forest and wanting to stay there forever. Her piano, which freely crosses the boundary between free improvisation and tonal music, has no such boundary from the beginning. I remember her when she was teaching at the Osaka College of Music. Listening to her post-graduation work "It's Just Commonplace Love...", I learned about her worldview that I had not noticed while I was still a student, and regretted that I could not have known about it while I was still a student. She lightly steps over the boundary between the past and the future - the present - with her eight wonderful comrades. The piano she plays has no "thorns. This is not in a superficial sense. Without relying on catchy melodies, improvisation and improvisation blend naturally, and a pleasant world with a sense of tension and "venom" is spun out in an unobtrusive manner. There is no need to explain each and every song. We would like to watch over the past and future of Yukari Sekiya together with this work. When I heard the last piece, "The Circle of Humming," I was convinced of this. Akira Ishii, pianist (February 14, 2025)
