Description

The sound of this live-recording is clearly focusing on the band. You may think that this is a studio recording first because you barely hear the audience. Masahiko Ozu plays drums, who also worked with Ornette Coleman, Sarah Vaughan and many others. Harumi Takeuchi plays piano and Shunsuke Takeuchi plays bass. You can enjoy outstanding Miyazawa’s tenor sax sound texture on all tracks including “GREEN DOLPHIN STREET” starting with his solo improvisation, one of the most popular Ellington’s composition “IN A SENTIMENTAL MOOD”, “BABY SEA HORSE” written by Miyazawa and “IF EVER I WOULD LEAVE YOU” from the musical "Camelot".
