Description
The first vinyl release of SEVILLA BREEZE, the second album released during the CBS Sony era in 1988 by Himiko Kikuchi, one of Japan's leading world-class female keyboardists. A masterpiece Latin jazz/fusion album inspired by Georges Bizet's opera Carmen and Spanish music, featuring elegant and vivid keyboard playing dancing freely against a backdrop of a powerful, driving rhythm section and a sharp horn section that rivals it. The album includes the high-speed Cuban/Latin jazz track "TOREADOR" filled with dazzling technique, covers of "GYPSY SONG from Carmen" and "SEGUIDILLA from Carmen" from Georges Bizet's opera Carmen, Latin/funky fusion tracks "SEVILLA BREEZE" and "PRIMAVELA" featuring Spectrum/AB'S members Naoki Watanabe (b), Hiroshi Okamoto (ds), and Yoshinori Osami (perc), as well as relaxed and mellow tracks such as "BLUE GIBRALTAR" and "SIESTA".
