Akiko - What's Jazz? Style 2008

Akiko - What's Jazz? Style 2008

Jazz

She released her acclaimed debut album 32 years ago at the age of 21, but Akiko Yano still refuses to rest on her laurels. Even with a 27th solo album on the way, the pianist, vocalist, lyricist and composer is still searching for new musical experiences....
By YUNG-HSIANG KAO.

As transparent beauty! Masterpiece blaze Sweet jazz vocals and delicate splendor!
This is great! Featuring modern electronic sound by Mr. and Ms. Yoshizawa Hazime AKIKO Yukihiro Fukutomi's latest! SONGURAITINGU vocals and soft, sweet scent of a high standard, surrounded by delicate sounds fancy vocal jazz album is beautiful or brilliant masterpiece!
**
Akiko's tribute to the "style" of jazz -- soon followed by her "spirit" set -- and a package that has far more substance than you might expect! The work's got a cool, classy sort of feel -- older jazz modes handled with small group instrumentation that either features piano or organ in the lead, occasionally with a bit of horns, but usually just trio or quartet grooving behind Akiko's slinky vocals! The tunes are a mix of compelling covers and some even more surprising originals by Akiko -- self-penned tunes that really stand out in the set, and make us love her talents even more than when she's just going for older American modes. Titles include "When Life Is Over", "Love Theme From Spartacus", "Ladies Love Mercedes", "Come Together", "Madly", and "What's Jazz".
