This album features Isao Suzuki, a leading bassist in the Japanese jazz scene, recording with a string band featuring Hank Jones, Roy Haynes, and Ron Carter. The arrangements are by Masahiko Sato. Wonderful tracks here inculdes Horace Silver's "Nica's Dream" which starts with a hip opening and then transitions into a mellow tempo, Suzuki's slow number "Avenue," arranged in a contemporary style, “Greensleeves,” which soundscapes a serene scene through its arrangement of the English folk song, and “Lamento,” a slow samba rendition of a Jobim composition. A work whose enduring popularity is easily understood. In pristine condition with obi and insert.
日本ジャズ界を代表するベーシスト鈴木勲がHank Jones, Roy Haynes, Ron Carterと共にストリングスバンド編成で録音したアルバム。アレンジは佐藤允彦が手掛けています。ヒップな出だしからメロウに切り替え展開していくHorace Silver作”Nica's Dream”、コンテンポラリー・サウンドにアレンジされた鈴木勲作のスロー・ナンバー”Avenue”、当店推薦のイギリスの民謡をアレンジした静観な情景を描き出したような”Greensleeves”、ジョビン作の楽曲をスロウ・サンバ調に展開した”Lamento”など素晴らしい楽曲群。根強い人気も頷ける作品。帯/インサート付きの超美品。
