George Lewis - In Japan
Review by Tim McCall
In Japan by George Lewis is an album that showcases the immense talent of the jazz trombonist. The album, which was recorded live in Tokyo in 1972, features Lewis performing alongside pianist Masahiko Sato, bassist Isoo Fukui, and drummer Motohiko Hino.
The album opens with a lively rendition of "Solo Piece for Trombone," which showcases Lewis' technical prowess and ability to improvise. The track is followed by "Improvised Duets," a series of duets between Lewis and Sato that highlight their chemistry and musical sensitivity.
Throughout the album, Lewis and his bandmates explore a range of styles and moods, from the melancholic "Echoes of My Mind" to the upbeat and playful "Three Little Feelings." The album also features a stunning rendition of the classic jazz standard "Body and Soul," which showcases Lewis' ability to infuse a familiar tune with his own unique style and flair.
