ただいま発売中のJazz Life 10月号に新譜「叙情 - Lyric Suite」のレビューが掲載されています。
ヒロオガワのことを、とことん知り尽くした深い目線に驚愕と恥ずかしさを禁じ得ない内容です。
確かに現代音楽風ではあるけれど、プログレ的なアプローチであることを見透かされてしまった。悪い気はしないけれどね。ただ、無調であったり、変拍子であったりする曲も割と入っているので、そこは見解が分かれるところだ。「異質な作品ではなく~代表作として列するべき」と言う力強いお言葉に感謝します。最後に「小難しそうなのに聴きやすい」と言う言葉が、印象的でした。
レビュワーの富澤さんとは5作目「bue eye」からの付き合いなのですが(毎回ではないけれど)いつものことながら流麗な言い回しに感心しきりです。
レビューページの左隣に、かつしかトリオのウチュウノアバレンボーが載っていて、ついでに見てくれないかなぁ?なんて。
The October issue of Jazz Life, now on sale, features a review of the new album "Lyric Suite."
The deep perspective of the reviewer, who knows Hiro Ogawa inside and out, is shocking and embarrassing.
It certainly has a contemporary musical style, but the progressive rock approach was clearly seen through. I don't mind, though.
However, there are quite a few atonal and irregular time signature songs, so opinions are divided on that point.
I appreciate your powerful words that "this should be ranked as one of his masterpieces, not as a unique piece."
The final words "It sounds difficult, but it's easy to listen to" left a strong impression on me.
I've been acquainted with reviewer Tomizawa since my fifth album "blue eye" (though not every time), and as always, I'm impressed by his elegant way of speaking.

A love letter to the birthplace of Jazz New Orleans will never again appear as it does in these rare and stunning photographs by William Claxton taken for the book Jazzlife in 1960. While traveling around the US with Musicologist Joachim E. Berendt to record America's original art form, Claxton met and photographed the jazz personalities in every major and minor city, capturing these musicians in their natural environment.
A lot has happened since I started teaching at #northernillinoisuniversity five years ago…
Last year, I received tenure, and this summer I was published for the first time in #asalhbhm. I also recently finished a chapter to be published in a musical instruction book.
I am looking forward to the new opportunities this year will bring!
In the late 1960s a new style of jazz emerged that was not an extension of hard bop or free jazz. For a brief seven or eight years - after the assassination of Martin Luther King Jr. in April 1968 and the beginning of fusion in the mid-1970s - a new expression of black power appeared, wrapped in pan-Africanism in the works of black journalists, books on blackness by black intellectuals, folk paintings by black artists, and music by black jazz artists.
During these years, the music of a growing number of prominent jazz musicians embraced African culture and the idealism of African countries newly liberated from colonialism. The list of artists included Herbie Hancock, Miles Davis, Charles Lloyd, Pharoah Sanders, McCoy Tyner, Alice Coltrane, Archie Shepp, Freddie Hubbard, Woody Shaw, Jack DeJohnette, Larry Willis, Bennie Maupin and many others.
Among them was Joe Henderson, whose album Power to the People (Milestone) was and remains a landmark. Recorded in May 1969, the album featured Mike Lawrence (tp), Joe Henderson (ts), Herbie Hancock (p,el-p), Ron Carter (b,el-b) and Jack DeJohnette (d).
A finales de la década de 1960 surgió un nuevo estilo de jazz que no era una extensión del hard bop ni del free jazz. Durante unos breves siete u ocho años -tras el asesinato de Martin Luther King Jr. en abril de 1968 y el inicio de la fusión a mediados de los setenta- apareció una nueva expresión de poder negro envuelta en el panafricanismo en las obras de periodistas negros, los libros sobre la condición negra de intelectuales negros, las pinturas folclóricas de artistas negros y la música de artistas de jazz negros.
Durante estos años, la música de un número creciente de destacados músicos de jazz abrazó la cultura africana y el idealismo de los países africanos recién liberados del colonialismo.

I love this bookish detail in transforming office towers into apartment buildings.
One of Cetra and Ruddy’s signature moves, they told me, is to adorn a public space with a modular shelving unit that contains small sculptures and ceramics that “feel like they could have been picked up on a trip overseas.” The architects also include a pile of art books—“Jazzlife,” “Helmut Newton: Work,” a book of Ai Weiwei’s installations. I objected that these seemed like the sorts of books people never actually read, but they disagreed. Tenants did pull them down. In fact, Cetra and Ruddy told me, the books at AVA DoBro, a new apartment building in downtown Brooklyn that they had designed, once disappeared entirely. “It turned out it was a construction worker who had grown up without books,” Ruddy said. “So I replaced them.”
“They’re good books,” Cetra added.

Nowadays, with the advancement of digital technology, the interpretation of ``the work of fitting it into the framework of a song'' is vastly different from the analog era.At the same time, composers have gained a vast range of possibilities, and at the same time, the point of contact with the audience has expanded to a vast range of possibilities. This means that you have to find it among them. This work is created by Hiro Ogawa, who reigns as the darling of the times, randomly picking up images and ideas for combinations of instruments that come to mind, and especially the experimental music concept that reflects the multiple personalities titled Trio Music and Works. I felt that this song was challenging in terms of ``points of contact with the audience.'' In addition, the beauty of the piano stands out, which is interesting as it reveals his origins as an artist

I BBNG sono quattro ragazzi sopra le righe, quattro Jazz Cats senza collare prestati al mondo delle black music, in un ruggito sonoro fatto da «7 seconds or less».
Prima di tutto sveliamo che l’acronimo sta per Bad Bad Not Good. È ispirato ai titoli dei vecchi film Western, come The Good, The Bad and The Ugly.
