¡Urban Lights / Kaiji Fushoku
¡Yuichiro Tokuda Quintet
Description
[Machine Translation] JazzLife Review Six months after his critically acclaimed debut album Initial Impulse, Yuichiro Tokuda Quintet has already completed his second album! Yuichiro Tokuda QuINtet's 2nd album [ Urban Lights / Sea Time Wind Color ] will be released nationwide on August 22, 2007! Like the previous album, all songs are original compositions by Yuichiro Tokuda. The works show a wide range of styles, including swing, funk, jazz ballads, contemporary bop, Okinawan jazz, spiritual jazz, R&B, and Okinawan folk songs. The title of the album, "Urban Lights" (umi ji fu shiki), is a storybook expression of the feelings of dreaming, longing, and longing for home. Tokuda also sings vocals on this song, which is one of the reasons for the new musicality of the album. In the last song, "Umijikazeiro ~Tinsagunu Uta~," the younger sister, Emi Tokuda, joins the band for the first time as a vocalist. She beautifully sings Okinawan folk songs, the roots of the Tokuda siblings, and shows off her hidden potential. This work is more conceptual and presents a wider range of musicality than the previous album! Even more intense, even more beautiful, a new kind of music that is jazz, but transcends the boundaries of jazz, is born here!
