Special duet featuring Japanese vocalist Minako Yoshida and jazz/fusion guitarist Kazumi Watanabe. Kazumi Watanabe has for the past 20 years been one of the top guitarists in fusion, a rock-oriented player whose furious power does not mask a creative imagination. Watanabe studied guitar at Tokyo’s Yamaha Music School and he was a recording artist while still a teenager. In 1979, he formed the group Kylyn and, in 1983, he put together the Mobo band. Several of his recordings have been made available by Gramavision and they show that he ranks up with Al DiMeola (when he is electrified) and Scott Henderson among the pacesetters in the idiom.

「日々の暮らしと共にあってほしい音楽を」とのコンセプトで造り上げた渡辺香津美流ホームメイド・インテリアミュージック。鍵盤を除くすべてのパートを香津美が担当しセルフビルトした空間は、ギタリストの頭の中に現われた心象風景の再現。ちなみに録音も香津美自身の手によるものとなっている。

時にヨーロピアン・プログレッシヴ、時にエイジアンな癒しの音の連なりは、鍵盤楽器を担当し作品も提供するパートナーの谷川公子との絶妙なコラボレーションの成果でもある。冒頭4部構成の「アステリアス」(通称「ひとで組曲」 )から谷川作品を経て、クラシックギタリスト委嘱作品「イチジクとザクロ」(初演は福田進一・荘村清志デュオ )、そして空間が揺らぐサン=サーンスの「白鳥」をモチーフにしたトリッピーなエンディングまで、渡辺香津美と巡るサウンド・スケープをお楽しみください。
