Description

Masaru Imada's debut album, "Maki," is where it all began. Known as one of Japan's most influential pianists, Imada's career has spanned seven decades, from hard bop to fusion, with over 30 albums under his belt. "Maki" captures the essence of his powerful, emotive touch, blending fresh rhythms with beautiful melodies. The album showcases a mix of standards and originals, like the dynamic "On Green Dolphin Street," the tender "Maki" dedicated to his daughter, and the vibrant "Sea Horse." Released as part of Victor's "Japanese Jazz" series, this record is a true gem.
