The label "Switch" is known for its mysteriously attractive artists such as Akio Niitsu and Ayuo Takahashi and its releases of 45 rpm mini-album style, which were popular at the time. This mini album was released in 1985 by Yasuaki Shimizu under the name of Saxophonettes. All the instruments are played by Shimizu himself. Two jazz standard numbers with ethereal soundscapes are on the B-side, and an elegant original song sung by Jimmy Murakami is on the A-side. An excellent production with an atmosphere of elegance and comfort. Wonderful as usual.
新津章夫や高橋鮎生など不思議な魅力のアーティスト、当時の流行りであったという45回転のミニアルバム仕様のリリースで知られるレーベル”Switch”。本作は清水靖晃がサキソフォネッツ名義にて発表した85年作。全ての楽器を清水自身が演奏していて、ジャズのスタンダードナンバーを幽玄なサウンドスケープで聞かせるB面の2曲、ジミー村上が歌うエレガントなオリジナル曲をA面に収録。気品漂う雰囲気と心地よさが同居したさすがのプロダクション。
A - Elles Se Rendent Pas Compte
B1 - Stardust
B2 - Humoresque
