Description
[Machine Translation] Tenor saxophonist Naoyuki Fujii's first all-instrumental, self-produced new album! With Gouta Yashiki as groove activist, Hajime Anzai as designer, Kenji Miura as photographer, and Keisuke Baba as stylist, "The best looking Naoyuki Fujii ever" is here. The collection includes rock and roll, jive, jazz, cumbia, Latin, and classical music. The band's arrangement of tenor saxophone, sometimes powerful, sometimes gentle, can be enjoyed to the fullest on all 11 tracks. Starting with the rocking opening number "5th St.," the band plays the killer tune "Jive Nite," in which the honky-tonk organ and the gorgeous saxophone seem to sing together, the mature ballad "ROSE," in which the saxophone is played in unison by another saxophonist, and the dramatic, melodic "Pierce the Heart," in which the tenor saxophone is used as a soloist. The full album features a rich variety of new original songs, sometimes hot, sometimes cool, including "Falling Leaves," a dramatic melody that sticks with you. Along with new songs, the album includes "Amazing Grace", a hymn that shines light in the darkness; "Close to You", a song made famous by the Carpenters; "The Condor is Flying", whose tone spreads to the cold but magnificent sky; and a cover of Beethoven's "Symphony No. 9 The album also includes a cover of Beethoven's "Symphony No. 9," a song that expresses joy and lightness that no one has ever achieved. [Recording members: Naoyuki Fujii (tenor saxophone/guitar/programming), Shuichi Hirasato (drums), Takuto Kudo (keyboards), Masashi Nakamura (bass), Mamoru Furusawa (guitar), Masayoshi Kikuchi (guitar), Gota Yashiki (groove activator/programming)
