Celebrating 25 years of her music career. A substantial new release that distills the sound of jazz pianist Chihiro Yamanaka. Based in New York and active around the world, Chihiro Yamanaka is one of Japan's leading jazz pianists. Following last year's 20th anniversary of her major-label debut, this year marks the major milestone of 25 years in her music career, making this her second consecutive anniversary year. A new album commemorating her remarkable journey is being released. From songs she has continued to perform live since the beginning of her career to regular favorites that color her current stage performances, this album brings together repertoire that Yamanaka feels she wants to share with listeners now, making it a culmination of her 25 years at the forefront of live performance. Music she has honed on stage over many years and developed together with her fans is vividly brought to life through her current sensibility and performance. The album includes jazz classics such as Keith Jarrett's "Memories of Tomorrow," Carla Bley's "Lawns," Bill Evans / Miles Davis's "Blue in Green," George Russell's "Living Time: Event V," Eliane Elias's "Impulsive," and George Gershwin's "Summertime." The diverse selection also includes Amilton Godoy's "Choro," Julian "J3PO" Pollack's "Silver Lining," Yamanaka's original composition "Beverly," and even "Jingle Bells." Yamanaka brings together numbers from different eras and styles with her distinctive bold yet meticulous arrangements, creating an album that transcends genres and generations. The members are Yoshi Waki on bass and John Davis on drums, both of whom have supported Yamanaka's music for many years. Centered on Yamanaka's versatile piano and keyboard playing, the trio delivers powerful grooves and tight interplay. Looking back on her 25-year journey while continuing to evolve, this anniversary release vividly captures Chihiro Yamanaka as she is today and is packed with highlights. The Initial Limited Edition is released as UHQCD+DVD. The DVD included with the Initial Limited Edition features performances from the "Chihiro Yamanaka New York Trio Tour 2023," held at the Small Theatre of Iwaki Performing Arts Center Alios on September 28, 2023 to commemorate the release of the new album "Dolce Vita."
