Kaoru Abe – alto saxophone
Motoharu Yoshizawa – bass, cello

Yoshizawa Motoharu wrapping strings and stringed resonance sound warmly flows, enveloping Kaoru Abe. Dialogue starts from there. It's gentle...






Hot air has already been lost from the block, and it was impossible to hear cracked agitations exhaled from the magnet speaker. While listening to their sounds, I remember the air of a time, I remember it a little, a little, somewhat, just a little...  it is certain that Kaoru Abe was watching "something beautiful" behind a scorched earthy sound. I felt strongly that it was not just roaring but something like an admiration for such a world to be built in a dialogue with a heavily light Yoshisawa bass...
The charm of Kaoru Abe is not actually found in the style as Free jazz but rather like the sound of ordinary people in Japan is scattered like a residue... Beautiful recording.



If you find it, buy this album!
