Makoto Ozone Featuring No Name Horses,OZONE MAKOTO,No Name Horses

Description:

No Name Horses is a 15-member big band formed in 2004, led by Makoto Ozone, who is one of Japan's leading jazz musicians and the leader of his own band. They have actively performed not only in Japan but also overseas. This is their first best album, which offers a full taste of the essence of what has made them a big band unparalleled in the world, with a highly sophisticated ensemble based on a long-standing relationship of trust, a variety of original compositions by members led by Ozone, and an endlessly creative and playful spirit. In addition to the best takes selected from their previous releases, the album includes the latest recordings of "The Puzzle" (Makoto Ozone), "La Fiesta" (Chick Corea), "Noreen's Nocturne" (Oscar Peterson), and three songs. The two discs are filled with their footsteps, which are based on jazz, but continue to challenge the borders of musical genres. (C)RS
