{"product_id":"maeda-norio-trio-alpha-ray","title":"Maeda, Norio Trio - Alpha Ray","description":"A torrent of brilliance released from the fingertips. The art of the piano trio by a giant of arrangement. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nIn 1968, Norio Maeda, the genius arranger once described as being able to “write different scores with his right and left hands at the same time,” welcomed his close musical allies Takeshi Inomata and Tatsuro Takimoto and took on the piano head-on in his first piano \ntrio work as a pianist. This album brings together the refined melodies of the new mainstream style that led the jazz scene at the time, experimental elements using prepared piano, and even a strikingly inventive recording approach in which as many as seven microphones were placed inside the piano. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nWith the outstanding structural power of a composer and arranger and the sharp instincts of a performer woven together at a high level, this is an important work that deserves to be engraved in the history of Japanese jazz.","brand":"Nipponophone","offers":[{"title":"LP (Japanese Import)","offer_id":51387980906774,"sku":"RMX-69154","price":47.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0839\/7750\/2998\/files\/6a2172ed5073bd9d3bd49598.jpg?v=1780582254","url":"https:\/\/resident-music-uk.myshopify.com\/products\/maeda-norio-trio-alpha-ray","provider":"Resident Music UK","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
