Info for Saxes Street
The first release from Masato Honda, one of Japan's most talented and popular saxophonists, after his move to Universal Music. The label is GRP, which has spun the history of fusion in the world.
The iron-clad line-up, which responds to all kinds of song ideas from royal fusion to tricky funk and jazz-tinged numbers, vividly colours the sound of the original numbers, all from the pen of Masato Honda.
This is a record that will not only meet the expectations of fans who have been waiting for it, but also the authentic jazz fans will inevitably be impressed by Masato Honda's world-class ability. This album, which is full of various expressions with a 'rich sense of colour' and at the same time gives the impression of an unprecedented 'style', is an ambitious and important work that marks a new page in the history of Masato Honda himself and of GRP, as it greatly evolves on the basis of the sound that has been typical of Masato Honda up to now.
Super saxophone player Masato Honda, whose supreme technique and entertainment appeal to fans, appears with his first new album in six years, SAXES STREET. After joining Nobuo Hara and the Sharps & Flats and T-SQUARE, he began his solo career. His collaborations with the all-star big band B.B. STATION, Malin and Bob James have also attracted attention, while he has also supported Eikichi Yazawa, Toshio Tsunomatsu and others. For this show, he picked up Mitsuru Sudo, Hiroyuki Noritake, Jun Kajiwara and Keiji Matsumoto, allies from his T-SQUARE days, from among the members who participated in the new album. The band's ironclad ensemble delivers a wide range of tunes written by Honda, from royal road fusion to tricky funk and jazz-tinged numbers.
