The Miraculous Encounter of Jazz Vocals and Herbie Hancock
An improvisational dialogue between Kasai Kimiko's scat and Hancock's piano.
This collaboration between a Japanese jazz vocalist and an American master demonstrates the universality of music that transcends language. Kasai's free and expressive vocals and Hancock's sensitive and intelligent piano playing are in perfect harmony, revealing new possibilities for jazz vocals. This is a monumental work in the exchange of jazz between Japan and the United States.
