Naoya Matsuoka -- A Song on the Wind (Remember Me)

 

Back in the dog days of summer, I provided a little something in the form of "Touch The New York Pink" by Latin jazz musician Naoya Matsuoka(松岡直也)from his 1982 album "Fall on the Avenue".

That was the first track. The second track is "A Song on the Wind (Remember Me)", only a slightly mellower song but still possessed by those percolating Latin rhythms and the happy-go-lucky melodies by the various instrumentalists including Matsuoka on piano. Maybe it's a bit more introspective as if the protagonist of the track is musing about some thought in his mind and the music here is representing all of the rollicking ideas.

Happily, the J-Wiki article for "Fall on the Avenue" has provided a list of the musicians involved in each track, and I also see that the album is available at CD Japan. Ahh...decisions, decisions.
