Mabumi Yamaguchi - Next Standards

This is the first duo album by Japanese jazz treasure Mafumi Yamaguchi, joined by first-call pianist Mayuko Katakura. The album focuses on the 1960s compositions of new mainstream musicians such as Wayne Shorter and Herbie Hancock, highlighting them with a unique interpretation. The title 'Next Standards' reflects Yamaguchi's belief that these compositions represent 'next-generation standards' that should be passed down to the next generation. Enjoy the thrilling and beautiful ensemble of this well-coordinated pair. [Performers]Mabumi Yamaguchi: tenor & soprano saxMayuko Katakura: pianoLISTEN: https://youtu. Be/CbJ9v1HUFj0Tracklist:01.
