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 a nd 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. Show more
