'Kiso', 'Asama', 'Hakuba' and 'Hida'. He recalls the landscapes of his past and carefully weaves his feelings and emotions into the music. This work is one of the pinnacles that Akira Miyazawa has reached. This work was released in 1970 as one of Victor's 'Japanese Jazz' series. 'We are Japanese, so I think we have to create something that only Japanese people can do. ' These are the words of Akira Miyazawa from this period. When Miyazawa tried to create a work that only Japanese people could do, it was inevitable that he would choose his own origins, the hometown where he was born and raised, as a motif. For Miyazawa, who was born in Matsumoto City, Nagano Prefecture and loved fishing, 'Kiso', 'Asama', 'Hakuba' and 'Hida' are truly landscapes of his past. Takeo Moriyama's raging drums, Yasuo Arakawa's rich bass, Masahiko Sato's overflowing piano, and Miyazawa's saxophone, which is like a mass of emotion. Nostalgia and admiration for the land where he was born and raised, as well as admiration and reverence for Mother Nature. Miyazawa looks to his roots and weaves his thoughts and images into his music with sincerity and care. This album, 'Kiso' is the pinnacle that Miyazawa has reached.
