Description:

[BETTER DAYS 40th ANNIVERSARY] Following Mariah's "Utakata no Hibi" in 1983, "Autumn in Beijing" featured strings titled after Boris Vian's work and a moody saxophone section. The beautiful saxophone sound of the saxophone section on "Autumn in Beijing," featuring strings from a work by Boris Vian, was intoxicating on a total of eight standard numbers that everyone has heard before, including "Night and Day" and "As Time Goes By. The album is an album of admiration for Yasuaki Shimizu, who has changed from the radical, experimental, alternative music of Mariah and continues to wow us with his expressiveness and performance ability as a saxophone soloist. This is the first album by Yasuaki Shimizu & Saxophonettes, and a masterpiece that will be talked about forever. Latest remastered sound source. Recorded at Nippon Columbia Studios & New York Power Station Studios in 1983 [Personnel] Yasuaki Shimizu (ts), Ryuichi Sakamoto (p), Hideo Yamaki (ds), Akira Ikuta (linn), Morio Watanabe (b), Shuhei Kubo (tube), Royal Artless Strings
