Description

"Kiso," "Asama," "Hakuba," and "Hida" evoke the landscapes of Akira Miyazawa's past, as he intricately weaves his feelings and emotions into the music. This work represents one of the pinnacles of Miyazawa's artistry. 

Released in 1970 as part of Victor's "Japanese Jazz" series, Miyazawa stated, "We are Japanese, so I think we have to create something that only Japanese people can do." In his quest to craft a uniquely Japanese sound, he drew inspiration from his roots in Matsumoto City, Nagano Prefecture. For Miyazawa, the titles "Kiso," "Asama," "Hakuba," and "Hida" reflect the landscapes of his childhood.

The album features Takeo Moriyama’s raging drums, Yasuo Arakawa’s rich bass, and Masahiko Sato’s overflowing piano, alongside Miyazawa’s saxophone. Together, they express nostalgia and admiration for his homeland and reverence for Mother Nature. With sincerity and care, Miyazawa channels his thoughts and memories into his music. "Kiso" stands as a testament to the heights he has achieved. Text by Yusuke Ogawa (UNIVERSOUNDS / DEEP JAZZ REALITY).
