STRODE ROAD

This disc is a re-issue of Toshiyuki Sekine’s 1978 recording that ardent record collectors have been craving as a “legendary” one. Well, I like Sekine’s beautiful, lylical and romantic piano sound and we can hear it also on this disc recorded 29 years ago. In contrast with his first “Stop Over” album, where the music is full of energy and tension, Sekine plays much more relaxed and seems to enjoy playing the music and it makes this recording one of his best performance in his 20’s and a legendary disc of the Japanese jazz history.
