DESCRIPTION
Happy Coat Shota Osabe Piano Trio released in 2008 on Lasting Impression Music LIM. Album is the second to last recording of the great double-bassist, Ray Brown made with Pianist Shota Osabe and drummer Harold Jones. He recorded this wonderful album just 123 days before his death. The trio performance is legendary and the sound is very warm and cozy. If you are a fan of his, you will want a copy for your collection.
Pianist Osabe is based in San Francisco and also performs in Japan. He topped the SoundClick Top 20 Jazz chart in 2003 with a Ray Brown tune included here, Can’t Leave Her Again. His style is strongly melodic and swinging without grandstanding, but of course the real pulse of the whole enterprise here is the masterful bassist Brown, whose every note is conveyed with strength and clarity by the original 30 ips analog recording and the K2HD processing. Osabe’s piano is spread between the center and right channel while drummer Jones has most of the left channel. Jones’ background includes playing for Count Basie and Sarah Vaughan.
