K. Akagi p, Y. Suzuki b, H. Murakami ds, VideoArts 1999.
The Japanese giant of the jazz piano is presented in another wonderful record here. Six out of ten are originals, very thrilling compositions, a melting-away version of Spring Can Really Hang You Up The Most or a piano solo of Giant Steps.
The interplay of the three guys is perfect and the playing of Akagi is pure excitement. Gentle, rocking, rhythmic, contemplative, melodic, empathic, sophisticated – he can play everything with perfection. This disc demonstrates once again, why Akagi is one of my favourite pianists present, because he plays modern piano in classical jazz.
The sound is perfect, rich of colour, very good soundstage and imaging, air for the instruments to breath, very dynamic, brilliant.
