Makoto Ozone - s/t


So this is the 1st lp by pianist Makoto Ozone.Seems an odd instrumental line up for an opening shot. It's a particularly quiet lp seeing as how the dude put out a couple of real swinging sides over the next decade or so.The inclusion of Gomez might lead to some Bill Evans comparisons, and you may be right. Not necessarily a bad place to start.

I kinda dig the line up but I really have to be in the right mood for it, not just a drop and play lp. I really don't see it offered much so I do what I can cats.

1. Crystal Love
2. I Need You Here
3. Flight
4. Endless Seasons Part 1
5. Endless Seasons Part 2
6. Improvisation


Makoto Ozone - piano
Gary Burton - vibraphone
Eddie Gomez - bass
