Tadaaki Misago- Nippon No Koten Geijyutu
An unrelenting storm of Minyo, Latin, and Jazz-fierce, thrilling, and utterly original. A groundbreaking work of classical artistry, created by two masters: Naotero Misuna and Norio Maeda. Naotero Misuna, known as 'Maestro Misuna,' led the Tokyo Cuban Boys, a legendary big band formed in 1949-before Latin music had even taken root in Japan. With over 300 recordings to their name, they are one of Japan's most iconic ensembles. Throughout their long career, the band remained rooted in Latin music while boldly incorporating other genres and contemporary styles. Among their most internationally acclaimed works are those that focus on traditional Japanese music, such as folk songs and ancient melodies. This album, Japanese Classical Arts, arranged by the great Norio Maeda, is a masterpiece that transforms Minyo + Latin + Jazz into a thrilling sonic experience. Leading the charge is a powerful rendition of 'Sakura Sakura,' which moves seamlessly between Afro-Cuban jazz and jazz-rock, captivating listeners around the world. The album also features meticulously crafted arrangements of 'Kariboshikiri Uta,' 'Yagibushi,' 'Genroku Hanami Odori,' and 'Awa Odori. ' The inclusion of Kohachiro Miyata on shakuhachi and Tadao Sawai on koto is nothing short of brilliant. This is exhilarating Wa-Jazz at it's finest-music that makes you want to shout, 'This is it!'
