{"product_id":"emi-makabe-anniversary_aec-grlf1081-2","title":"Emi Makabe - Anniversary","description":"\u003cp\u003eBorn and raised in Japan but a decade-plus resident of New York, Makabe releases her debut album Anniversary, featuring her original songs - sung in English, Japanese and wordless vocalese - in airy, artful arrangements, with improvisation naturally part of the mix. The record features EMI on vocals and shamisen (a traditional Japanese string instrument) alongside a trio of New York jazz virtuosos: Vitor Gonçalves on piano\/accordion, Thomas Morgan on bass, and Kenny Wollesen on drums\/vibraphone.Along with the shamisen-laced singles \"Treeing\" and \"Flash,\" highlights of Anniversary include the jazzy, melody-rich \"O Street,\" the otherworldly \"Mielcke\" and the romantic-minded title track. The album also features Emi's apt setting of \"Chimney Sweeper,\" the sad-eyed poem by William Blake about a child abandoned. Bringing an intensely original mix of elements together into a fresh and personal statement, EMI presents a nice mixture of Japanese folk music and jazz improvisation.1. Treeing 2. Joy 3.
