Originally released as an XR-CD in 2009 with unamas label, this is the first document of a session that captured the gentle and sometimes intense dialogue between the two personalities from August 2008 to August 2009 live.
This album is a tribute to Hisatugu Suzuki who unfortunately passed away in December 2024 that was remastered at 96kHZ-24bit as RE-MIX.
The M-01 prologue and M-05 epilogue are free improvisations that they perform in both are truly once-in-a-lifetime performances. The other three songs are standers, but we hope you will take the time to enjoy how the two of them interpreted them. The memorable first performance was held here at Jazz Club-UNAMAS on August 12 TOKYO.
A pianist Arimasa Yuki who has released CD-VOL01/VOL02 and other 3 solo piano albums in the studio and at Ohga Hall on the UNAMAS label. His beautiful piano touch and layered chord work at any volume, as well as his swinging rhythmic sense in odd time signatures, seem to strike a pulse when my recording.
Tenor player Hisatugu Suzuki, who has often performed here at Jazz club UNAMAS as a member of the Tomonao Hara or Dairiki Hara. as if he were reciting a poem on his saxophone.
