Description
[Machine Translation] Born the second son of pianist/organist Minoru Ozone, who contributed greatly to the development of the Kansai jazz scene, saxophonist Kei Ozone grew up in a jazz family with his older brother Makoto Ozone. He has recently produced his first solo album. Makoto Ozone, who had long recognized his talent for saxophone and composition and had been urging him to produce an album for many years, produced the album and participated in all aspects of the performance. He is backed by Kengo Nakamura and Sinnosuke Takahashi, who are the ironclad rhythm section of No Name Horses, a big band led by Makoto Ozone. The album consists of nine songs: five originals by Kei Ozone, three standards, and "Gorgeous" by Mitchell Forman, a song he remembers learning from his brother Makoto when he was in his 20s. All of the original songs are melodious, pleasant to the ear, and close to the heart. The straightforward, airy sound and the interplay between the members make this album a true jazz treat. The jackets are decorated with childhood photos of the Ozone brothers. [Kei Ozone: soprano & alto saxophone, Makoto Ozone: piano, Hamond B3 organ, Kengo Nakamura: bass, Shinnosuke Takahashi: drums / Recorded May 30 & 31, 2022 at Sony Music Studio, Tokyo. Mixed & Mastered by Niraj Kajanchi / Produced by Makoto Ozone
