Description
[Machine Translation] Taylor Aigusti is at the pinnacle of his rich career, having won a Grammy Award for Best Contemporary Instrumental Album in 2022 for "Tree Falls" (2021), his first album in 11 years since his 2010 masterpiece "Daylight at Midnight," which became a benchmark for contemporary jazz. Taylor Aigusti, at the pinnacle of his rich career, has completed an even more substantial body of work. In addition to his work with his own trio, quartet, and large ensemble, Taylor Aigusti is a regular touring band member of Chris Botti, Eric Harland's Voyager, Gretchen Parlato, and Kendrick Scott's Oracle, as well as touring and recording with Over the past 30 years, he has performed with Joshua Redman, Sting, Esperanza Spalding, Chick Corea, Kurt Rosenwinkel, Becca Stevens, and many others, making him one of the leading contemporary jazz piano and composition artists. This album is a further development of his previous work, "Tree Falls," in which he freely incorporates strings, wind instruments, guitars, and other instruments to create a grand contemporary jazz world. The way in which he plays piano and rhodes, and adds melodies with just the right amount of smoothness and pop feel to them, shows the richness of his career. The tracks by singers of different colors (Gretchen Parlato, Becca Stevens, and Lisa Fischer) are also worth listening to, as they fit the songs perfectly. In addition to the standards by Rodgers-Hurts (M11) and Jimmy Van Heusen (M13, a bonus track for the Japanese release), the string ensemble that plays on about half of the songs on the album is a masterful arrangement that is not only the result of many years of experience leading ensembles, but also the result of the experience of many musicians, including the New York Philharmonic, Chicago Symphony, and other orchestras. The skillful arrangements of the string ensembles, which play on about half of the pieces, reflect not only his many years of experience leading ensembles, but also his accumulated skills from performing with and providing music for the New York Philharmonic, Chicago Symphony and various other symphony orchestras. The participating artists are well versed in Taylor's sound and include Gretchen Parlato (vo), Becca Stevens (vo), Lisa Fischer (vo), Terence Blanchard (tp), Ben Wendel (ts, ss), Dayna Stevens (ts), Julian Raj ( g ), Harish Raghavan ( b ), David Zinyard ( b ), Kendrick Scott ( ds ), Oscar Seaton ( ds ) and others.
