Satoshi Takino - Takino

Review by Jon Garratt

Satoshi Takino's album Takino is a masterpiece of modern jazz music. The album has a unique sound that is both innovative and refreshing. The compositions are complex and intricate, yet they are accessible to the average listener. The album features a mix of original compositions and covers of classic jazz standards.

The album is a showcase of Takino's exceptional skills as a pianist. His playing is virtuosic, yet he never loses sight of the melody. He is able to convey a wide range of emotions through his playing, from the melancholic to the exuberant. The other musicians on the album are equally talented, and they provide excellent support to Takino's playing.

One of the standout tracks on the album is "Blue in Green," a cover of the classic Miles Davis tune. Takino's interpretation of the song is both respectful of the original and fresh. He manages to add his own unique twist to the tune, making it his own. Another standout track is "The Last Waltz," an original composition that showcases Takino's ability to write beautiful melodies.
