Amidst the scattered cacophony of footsteps, as the tram’s PA system announces the current stop, a stream of passengers flows out to join the others on the streets. The bold crimson lights of Tokyo Tower rise up into the quiet night sky, gazing solemnly across the other skyscrapers of Roppongi. A wind from the Pacific picks up, stirring a traveler in his dreams, conjuring up memories of the breathtaking autumn scenery of the Izu Peninsula, or possibly the glance back from the equally breathtaking girl on her way up the mountain path. The carefree song of the saxophone and sprightly tune of the piano dance together back and forth among the memories brought on by the night. The crisp sound of the trumpet, beneath the soft glow of the moon, responds to the cascade of the drumbeat. The languid strum of the guitar mimics the tranquil hum of the traditional shamisen. The deep, quivering rumble of the bass conveys the classical fusion of strength with gentleness. The intoxicating female vocals echo like the endless call of yearning, and infused with jazz elements, bring the music of the Japanese archipelago to a whole new light. Japan has a knack for assimilating foreign culture, while also carrying on its own traditions. In the early 20th century, as Japan was undergoing a nationwide Western culture craze, jazz music, which had just become mainstream on the other coast of the Pacific, quickly rose to popularity, in turn leading to a fondness of the Japanese toward the US that would last for many generations. For this entry in his “Music of the World” series, Rhymoi Music producer Ye Yunchuan chose the contemporary metropolis of Tokyo as his starting point, and focused on the pleasant melodies and vivid imagery of Japanese jazz, bringing you a collection of 12 timeless classics, performed here in Japanese, English and Mandarin. Drawing inspiration from Japanese literary master Kawabata Yasunari’s maiden work “The Dancer of Izu”, Ye Yunchuan took a trip to Izu to get a first-hand look at the incredibly intact ancient atmosphere there, located astonishingly close to an urban environment, and infused elements of this magical place into the album’s overall sound. The entire album is like a relief panorama of city and country life in Japan, allowing the listener to experience the country’s unique aesthetic of fusing modern with classical. Rhymoi Music producer Ye Yunchuan invites acclaimed jazz pianist Simon Cosgrove to arrange the songs on the album and organize the best jazz band that Tokyo has to offer. Recording was done at Studio Dede, founded by legendary recording artist Mr. Yoshikawa. Premiere recording artist Shinya Matsushita, with his sharply honed recording skills, rounds out the album’s all-star production staff. Red Bean, Love Me Tender, Snowflakes, The Dancer of Izu…classic songs spanning the globe from Asia to Europe to the Americas, using analog magnetic tape recording, in combination with a wide array of world-class analog recording equipment, these songs are brought to you in bold, full-bodied sound, with an added layer of nostalgia. Female jazz vocalist Wang Yunyi, whose album Times Forgotten was previously released by Rhymoi Music, returns once again to stun you with her mesmerizing neutral voice. She, together with accomplished Japanese jazz singers Hiroko Williams and Masako Kunisada, flawlessly fuse the musical styles of East and West. The tranquility and subtle elegance of a gentle breeze, finds the best correspondence among different branches of jazz, like different malts of whiskey or flavors of sake. The subtle aesthetic of Japanese music creates a vivid, cascading melody, its majestic feel further infused with the improvised rhythm of jazz. The two meld together and dance beneath the moon, gliding through forests of bamboo, like wandering in a dream, propelled by life’s fondest memories. 编曲简介： Simon Cosgrove 剑桥大学毕业生，自2003年起居住于东京，作为演奏家、作曲家和教育家展开活动。他已经发行了三张爵士乐专辑，并与Duke Ellington Orchestra、松田圣子、Jamie Cullum、Duran Duran等知名歌手及演唱团体共同演出。他目前于女子美术大学担任助理教授一职。 演唱者简介： 木村浩子Hiroko Williams 自2012年以来已经发行了七张专辑，长期在日本的爵士乐排行榜上位居榜首。她在活跃于日本各地的演出活动中，并主持了一个名为“MY ROOM JAZZ”的广播节目。她的作品已经被全日空航空公司的机载音乐节目，以及亚洲和欧洲的一些有声杂志所收录。 国贞雅子Masako Kunisada 曾赴美国纽约学习，目前作为爵士乐、福音音乐、节奏布鲁斯、流行音乐的天才歌手活跃于东京的舞台。她也从事钢琴演奏，并发行了一张题名为“Wonderful Life”的专辑，并在其中加入了自己的原创作品。 王韵壹 中国最知名爵士乐女歌手，2006年至今，与国内外众多优秀音乐家合作演出，先后组建Hotline-1618爵士乐队、Frank Segen四重奏、筱慧与三重奏大爆炸（Elva&Trio B）以及筱慧与柠檬三重奏(Elva&Lemon Trio)。于2011年发行专辑《how long has this been going on》。在参与了热播真人秀节目《中国好声音》后，王韵壹被广大观众熟识，同时将兼具现代风格与传统经典的爵士乐带给中国观众，她嗓音酽厚而不失温润，对多种风格的演绎均有独到之处，是中国爵士乐演唱领域的第一人。2015年由瑞鸣音乐录制个人演唱专辑《被遗忘的时光》广受好评。 音乐演奏及录制成员：(Musicians) Arranger/Piano：Simon Cosgrove Tenor Saxophone：Akihiro Nishiguchi Guitar: Tomoya Hara Bass: Pat Glynn/Shinichi Sato Drums: Masahiko Osaka/Dennis Frehse Trumpet/flugelhorn: Mike Zachemuk Vocal： Masako Kunisada/ Hiroko Williams /Wang yunyi (王韵壹) Recording Engineer:Shinya Matsushita Mixing Engineer： Akihito Yoshikawa Recording Engineer Assistant: Yuki lto Li Yingzi（李英姿） Recording Studio： Studio Dede 制作成员： 出品/监制：丁磊 叶云川 制作人：叶云川 中文文案：赵子涵 英文文案：安仁良 录音花絮摄影：YC 平面设计： 晓行 后期制作统筹：徐逸飞 出品：瑞鸣音乐
