Details: Banksia Trio's first live album! Carefully selected from live recordings at three venues, including Blue Note Tokyo. The album ends with a cover of Ryuichi Sakamoto's classic 'Gui.' The Banksia Trio's first live album is complete! Studio Dede has recorded the high- quality sound of three of Japan's leading jazz musicians, Takashi Sugawara, Masaki Hayashi, and Shun Ishiwaka. The album features seven carefully selected tracks recorded live at Blue Note Tokyo (Tracks 1-3), Meguro Persimmon Hall (Small Hall) (Track 4), and Theater 21 at the 21st Century Museum of Contemporary Art, Kanazawa (Tracks 5-7). The album is comprised of songs from their much-talked-about previous album, 'MASKS,' as well as new songs and cover songs. It features Masaaki Kikuchi's 'Drizzling Rain,' a staple of the trio's live performances, as well as repertoire composed by each member, and Takashi Sugawara's new song, 'Rain.' The album also includes a cover of 'Gui,' a classic piece written by Ryuichi Sakamoto in his later years as at the 21st Century Museum of Contemporary Art, Kanazawa. This must-listen album encapsulates the passion of a live performance and the trio's growing talent. Song List 1. Drizzling Rain (Masabumi Kikuchi) 2. Rain (Takashi Sugawa) 3.
