Saori Yano - Answer (2012)

Saori Yano has been sending a new breeze to the jazz world since her amazing debut at the age of 16 in September 2003. She has released nine works including the best album so far, and will celebrate the 10th anniversary year from September 2012. The first release of her anniversary year is a fan-voted request album. For 10 years since her debut, she held fan votes on the web and at live venues to maximize her gratitude to the fans who continued to support her, and recorded the album from among them. Select a song. We will deliver all songs with new recordings including songs recorded in the album in the past. Included are the two songs "A Night In Tunisia" and "Whisky, You Like It" that co-starred trumpeter Terumasa Hino. For both songs, which have countless covers and rearrangements, Yano dared to choose a stoic approach without any tricks in the form of Mr. Hino's heart. In her attitude of carefully selecting the sounds she should make and refining her phrasing, she can certainly find one "answer" that she has been searching for 10 years. ~ toppe2.web.fc2.com.
