Toshiyuki Sekine plays the standard tunes he dedicates to "ten people who changed his life"! After twelve years since he released "Mai - Dancing", Toshiyuki Sekine, a Japanese jazz pianist, has finally released his long-waited trio album. With Hiroshi Yoshino on bass and Takayuki Koizumi on drums, he plays the well-known standard tunes on the piano and Rhodes with fresh feelings and cheerful enthusiasm: the album includes ten in total, seven standards, one of his favorites by Burt Bacharach (T8) and two of his original tunes (T6 and T10), all dedicated to "ten people who changed his life". The album is jazz 101 a wide variety of music lovers can enjoy. To make it happen, Sekine chose Fazioli as his piano, which is recently loved by many pianists better than traditional brands, and invited Mr. Neeraj Khajanchi as the recording, mixing and mastering engineer. In his own words: "At the crossroads of my life as a musician, there were ten people who had a great influence on me, which way to go and what to do next. I would like to dedicate these tunes to them with my sincere gratitude. The last tune, "Waseda Street Theme", was originally wrote as an instrumental tune but this time, I wrote a lyric and sang it myself, looking back upon my life to "dedicate" it to all who will listen to my music.
