¡Little Giant
¡Nobuo Hara with Sharps and Flats
Description
[Machine Translation] An adventurous big band jazz album featuring eminent composers and arrangers Masao Yagi, Kiyoshi Yamaya, Norio Maeda, and Masahiko Sato. This is the masterpiece of Sharps and Flats! Sharps and Flats, led by Nobuo Hara, has led the Japanese big band jazz scene with its diverse activities and distinctive musicality. The Sharps and Flats left behind many albums during their long career, but this album is considered one of their best-known works. The original was released in 1970 as one of the Victor "Jazz in Japan" series. Noteworthy is the participation of eminent composers and arrangers such as Masao Yagi, Kiyoshi Yamaya, Norio Maeda, and Masahiko Sato. In addition to their own original compositions, they also arranged Oliver Nelson's compositions, which are closely related to Sharps & Flats, in their own unique way. The arrangements are adventurously detailed, and the high quality of the performances makes them possible. The hipness of "Little Giant," the power of "Dark Horse," the sharpness of "Orbit 8:11," the stylishness of "Flexibility".... The dynamic performance with just the right amount of tension is mesmerizing. This is a masterpiece that brings out the best of Sharps and Flats' abilities and charm. text by Yusuke Ogawa ( UNIVERSOUNDS / DEEP JAZZ REALITY ).
