Mayuko Katakura - Plays Standards
Japanese Import CD
2020
Deliberately setting aside complex tunes that appeal primarily to connoisseurs, the artist focuses here on simple masterpieces such as "Summertime," "Moanin’," and "Softly, as in a Morning Sunrise"—the very kind of songs one might first practice in a university jazz club. This choice was made because there is no greater challenge than drawing fresh appeal out of such well-known standards. How does one of today’s premier pianists interpret and distill these jazz classics we have heard so many times before? This album captures that very process.
