{"product_id":"emi-makabe-anniversary-cd","title":"Emi Makabe - Anniversary [CD]","description":"\u003cdiv class=\"redeye-blurb\"\u003eBorn and raised in Japan but a decade-plus resident of New York, Makabe releases her debut album Anniversary, featuring her original songs – sung in English, Japanese and wordless vocalese – in airy, artful arrangements, with improvisation naturally part of the mix. The record features Emi on vocals and shamisen (a traditional Japanese string instrument) alongside a trio of New York jazz virtuosos: Vitor Gonçalves on piano\/accordion, Thomas Morgan on bass, and Kenny Wollesen on drums\/vibraphone.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nAlong with the shamisen-laced singles “Treeing” and “Flash,” highlights of Anniversary include the jazzy, melody-rich “O Street,” the otherworldly “Mielcke” and the romantic-minded title track. The album also features Emi’s apt setting of “Chimney Sweeper,” the sad-eyed poem by William Blake about a child abandoned. Bringing an intensely original mix of elements together into a fresh and personal statement, Emi presents a nice mixture of Japanese folk music and jazz improvisation.\u003c\/div\u003e\n        \n        \u003cul\u003e\n          \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eArtist:\u003c\/strong\u003e Emi Makabe\u003c\/li\u003e\n          \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLabel:\u003c\/strong\u003e GREENLEAF MUSIC\u003c\/li\u003e\n          \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFormat:\u003c\/strong\u003e CD\u003c\/li\u003e\n          \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFormat detail:\u003c\/strong\u003e CD 4-panel digipak\u003c\/li\u003e\n          \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRelease date:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2020-10-30\u003c\/li\u003e\n        \u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Emi Makabe","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47355684683974,"sku":"186980000817","price":15.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0563\/8085\/0374\/files\/201374731024.jpg?v=1789844357","url":"https:\/\/paladinvinyl.com\/es\/products\/emi-makabe-anniversary-cd","provider":"Paladin Vinyl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
