More Info:
A masterpiece by George and Sleepy with the new Big Four! A veteran talks about the fun of 'those days' and the fun of 'now'. Jazz is so fascinating!1950s. The Big Four led by George Kawaguchi gained overwhelming popularity as a pioneering group of modern jazz in Japan. They were active for a long time with changing members and left a big mark on the Japanese jazz scene. This work 'George & Sleepy' was released in 1969 as one of Victor's 'Japanese Jazz' series. The commentary at the time said 'A record that attempts to reproduce the nostalgic George Kawaguchi Big Four', but that is by no means a simple nostalgic work. 'Lover' and 'Charade' are reminiscent of the Big Four of those days and are undoubtedly fun, and the songs that skillfully incorporate modern techniques and musicality, such as the sophisticated groove of 'Tuesday Samba' and the exotic beat of 'Vietnam', are also attractive. This is a thrilling piece that conveys the charm of jazz, past and present, with a deep performance that only a veteran can have. LISTEN: https://youtu. Be/CtBCyPtaTgQ Side A1. The Breeze And I2.
