■Yafune Tetsuro ”Down Beat” 7.15.2005
”Down Beat” is the official first album, after a privately recorded debut in 1997, from Yafune Tetsuro - a singer-songwriter, arranger and piano／keyboard player. His sound, built up around authentic jazz combined with elements of Latin, reggae and soul music, is often described as 'city pop'. On this album his hip jazz swings lightly with the full flavor of the metropolis, making perfect background music for urban life. Ben Sidran, a jazz musician Yafune respects, praises his music, saying ”I can see how perhaps some of my music has been an influence. I like that you keep the arrangements small and intimate and let your piano and vocal lead. And also that you are not afraid to let the melodies speak for themselves. Simplicity is the hardest thing to teach or to learn.”
