世界を股にかけ活躍するコンテンポラリー・ジャズ・ベーシスト、細谷紀彰。バークリー音楽大学在学時にヨーロピアン・ジャズに魅了され卒業後単身渡独。6年間の活動を経て制作したヨーロッパ初収録リーダーアルバムが音源化。現地のミュージシャンと共にベルギー・ブリュッセルでレコーディングを行い欧州の澄み切った空気感もそのままパッケージング。世界を渡り目にした景色を書いたオリジナル楽曲を中心に、ヨーロピアン・ジャズの観点から解釈された「My Favorite Things」を収録。ベーシスト/コンポーザーとしてのルーツを見つめ直す事が出来たと本人が語るように細谷紀彰の内面を音にトレースしたような色彩鮮やかな1枚となっている。
Noriaki Hosoya's biggest musical influence is Jazz coming from Europe, the style typically represented by ECM records - beautiful mixture of classical music, pop and rock to contemporary jazz & yet very lyrical music. Since the time he was studying music in Boston's Berklee College of Music in the early 2000's, Noriaki Hosoya had dreamt to live to Europe someday. After working as professional bass player in Japan for several years, he finally moved to Berlin, Germany in 2010. Since his arrival, Nori had been looking for musicians to share his musical passion and diversity. He finally found two established Belgian musicians whos playing perfectly suit his music - the pianist Anne Wolf, and the drummer/percussionist Teun Verbruggen. They joined up for several rehearsals in November 2013 before going to the studio for a recording session at Jet Studio Brussels. Their first album "Eye of the Day" will be published in the coming months. The music of Noriaki Hosoya European Trio reflects Noriaki's musical diversity such as melodic and harmonic aspects from European contemporary Jazz, modern grooves and intensity from rock and pop music, and elegance and eloquence from new classical music. The ensemble mostly play Noriaki's own compositions, and perform in the spirit of "jazz" with lots of improvisations and interactions. The sound spectrum of the trio is melodic and sensitive, but dynamic and energetic at the same time. They fuse these two different elements to sublime their musical landscapes. The fact that Noriaki plays electric bass, instead of double bass, makes the sound of trio even more original. His 6 string semi-acoustic electric bass allows him to play colorful voicings and solos like guitar as well as powerful bass lines, which contribute to their peerless musical world.
