A面がジョン・トロペイ制作
NY録音でカバー曲が中心の
カチッとした職人仕事
B面はジョージ・ベンソン制作
の西海岸録音でオリジナル中心の
緩めなジャズフュージョン風味
オーケストレーションを
デオタードが担当
1枚で2度美味しい名盤
名プレイヤーで活動歴も長いので
自身のアルバムも参加アルバムも
名盤数しれずな方でしたので
折角ならニッチな
参加アルバムからと思い
邦盤縛りで探したんですが
松浦亜弥のラストアルバム
しか思い付かない
あやや以外に何か有るのかしら？
ご存知の方いたら教えて頂きたい
因みに松浦亜弥のアルバムも
当然、複数回紹介済(^_^;)
シュギー・オーティス&ブラジョンで
お馴染みの名曲
