A musical revelation October 25, 2008
7 out of 7 found this review helpful
Every now and then, and by that I mean five years or so, I find an exceptional new piece of music thanks to a review of some sort. A piece of music I would otherwise have been unlikely to stumble across. The kind of stuff they don't play on the radio. But I will read a review, usually in a newspaper, and it will get to me so much that I will have to buy that piece of music to find out if it as good as the review makes it sound. and it ends up blowing my wig off.
This is such a piece of music.
I have the Guardian newspaper to thank for pointing me to this amazing CD by the Japanese trumpeter and arranger, Jun Miyake.
There is bossa nova, schmaltz, stuff that sounds a bit trip-hoppy, chanson, Bulgarian voices, jazz. Its all deeply deeply cool. Some of it is sung in French and elsewhere (I think) in Japanese.
There is a full symphony orchestra involved, electric pianos, guitars, samples, cimbalom, harp and mandolin.
Miyake has pulled together the most seemingly disparate musicians and music and made a beautiful hybrid that makes far more sense to hear than it does on paper.
Really worth checking out.
