Hibino and the GEM Impact crew have been prolific publishers of original albums lately. Today, we’re talking about “Japanese Songs,” which is about as bland and descriptive a title as if they had renamed “Gentle Love” something like “This is some jazz music I recorded with my friends.”
This particular album is a collection of 17 piano solo recordings, arranged and performed by GEM Impact members Yuichiro Onuki and Yoko Nakamura. The source compositions are actually from more Western-style Japanese composers of the last century (a few of the tracks have unknown composers and are folk pieces from the last 200 years).
If you are into piano solo recordings as much as I am, please continue on the journey! … After the jump!! (more…)
