¡George and Sleepy
¡George Kawaguchi & Big Four
Description
[Machine Translation] George and Sleepy's new big fore is a great work! The veterans tell the fun of "then" and the fun of "now". Jazz is so fascinating! The 1950s. The Big Four, led by George Kawaguchi, gained overwhelming popularity as a pioneering group of modern jazz in Japan. The Big Four, led by George Kawaguchi, was active for a long time while changing members, and left a significant mark on the Japanese jazz scene. This album "George & Sleepy" was released in 1969 as one of the Victor "Jazz in Japan" series. The description at the time says, "This is a record that attempts to reproduce the George Kawaguchi Big Four of olden times," but this is by no means a mere nostalgic work. Lover" and "Charade" are unquestionably enjoyable and reminiscent of the Big Four of those days, and the sophisticated groove of "Tuesday Samba" and the exotic and beatific "Vietnam" are also appealing, as are the songs that skillfully incorporate modern techniques and musicality. This is a poignant work that conveys the old and new charms of jazz with the nostalgia of a veteran performer. text by Yusuke Ogawa ( UNIVERSOUNDS / DEEP JAZZ REALITY ).
