A collection of Kenny Burrell's works, dedicated to the much-admired Kenny Burrell by Yoshiaki Okayasu, a leading Japanese jazz guitarist.Following his second solo guitar album 'Ballad for the Night' released in April 2020, this is Yoshiaki Okayasu's first new work in 4 years and 7 months. Hefirst saw Kenny Burrell's live performance at 'Blue Note Tokyo' 30 years ago, and was surprised, shocked and moved, and has been pursuing it ever since. Theband is an unusual trio consisting of guitar, tenor saxophone and piano. Also performing with Toru Ambo and Keiichi Yoshida are Toru Ambo and Keiichi Yoshida. They have participated in Okayasu's leader albums many times, and are true musicians with solid skills whom Okayasu trusts the most. Although there is no drummer or bassist, the three of them have rehearsed many times, tried and tested many times, and narrowed down the repertoire to consist only of Burrell's original songs. The guitar played by Okayasu this time is a famous D'Angelico New Yorker (made in 1949). Only the fifth track, 'Blue Muse,' was recorded live without an amplifier.Songlist1. Sausalito Nights2. Loie3.
