With strings in the background, the classic standards from the 1930s and 1940s are brought back to life by Yasuaki Shimizu on one horn.
In stark contrast to Mariah's cutting-edge, experimental, alternative musical style, the saxophone solo wows the listener with its endless expressiveness and performance ability.
UHQCD format. Comes with commentary.
