Description
Blue City showcases mid-1970s Japanese jazz led by cellist and bassist Isao Suzuki, featuring early performances by guitarist Kazumi Watanabe. The album includes two covers—“Body and Soul” and “Play Fiddle Play”—and two original tracks that highlight the group’s unique sound. Suzuki’s use of cello adds a fresh voice, blending smoothly with the band’s piano, bass, and drums. This record captures a thoughtful approach to jazz, balancing tradition with innovation, and remains relevant and engaging decades later.
