¡Kenny Burrell Is Forever
¡Yoshiaki Okayasu
Description
[Machine Translation] Yoshiaki Okayasu's first new album in 4 years and 7 months, following his second solo guitar album "Ballad for the Night" released in April 2020. 30 years ago, I saw Kenny Burrell perform live for the first time at the Blue Note Tokyo, and was surprised, surprised, shocked, and moved by his performance, which I have been pursuing ever since. The band is an irregular trio of guitar, tenor sax, and piano. They are joined by Toru Anbo and Keiichi Yoshida. They have participated in many of Okayasu's leader's works, and are his most trusted and skilled true musicians. Although there will be no drummer or bassist, the three of them rehearsed many times, and after repeated trial and error, they narrowed down their repertoire to only Barrel's original compositions. Okayasu played a 1949 D'Angelico New Yorker guitar, and only the fifth song, "Blue Muse," was recorded live without amplification.
