This is a joint album by Akiko Yano and Hiromi Uehara, who are both based in New York and continue to perform internationally with their pianos, although in different genres. The album was recorded live at Bunkamura Orchard Hall on September 15, 2016, as part of Yano’s 40th anniversary project. It has been five years since the two performed together on “Get Together -LIVE IN TOKYO-” released in November 2011. Like the previous album, this was a “one-night-only” situation, a heated piano session in which the two musicians shared their inspirations in front of an audience of 2,000 people. The album includes 8 songs performed on the day of the show. In addition to popular Akiko Yano songs such as “Tokyo wa Yoru no 7 o’clock,” “I’ll Fly Away,” and “Ramen Tabetai,” the album also includes “Dreamer,” for which Yano wrote new lyrics to Hiromi Uehara’s original, “Koi no Uta,” a new song written by Hiromi Uehara, as well as jazz standards, children’s songs, R&B and popular songs from the Showa period. The program consists of a medley of cover tunes that traverse the genres and eras.
