Bebop Kanji Christmas [CD] (Japanese import)

Kanji Ohta Trio - Bebop Kanji Christmas [CD] (Japanese import)

A swinging Christmas Eve and a sparkling jazz piano feast!
Bebop master Kanji Ota depicts 12 Christmases with the up-and-coming artists of Tohoku.

 
A gem of a jazz Christmas album for a swinging Christmas Eve.
The 12-track album features the bebop piano master Kanji Ohta and his KANJI OHTA TRIO, along with cutting-edge musicians from Tohoku.

In addition to classics such as ''White Christmas'' and ''Silent Night,'' the album also features delicate selections of songs that accompany the Christmas Eve, such as Horace Silver's ''Peace'' and ''Coventry Carol.''

Furthermore, three tracks feature Kesennuma native Yuko Okamoto, whose soft and warm vocals blend with piano melodies. Each and every sound recorded at the end of summer shines warmly in the winter air.

A Christmas celebration filled with bebop spirit brought to you from the Tohoku region.
