Nice sounding recording. If you like the pairing of Chick Corea & Gary Burton you will enjoy this show too. Makoto Ozone's playing is different from Chick Corea's but Gary's vibes mesh with his playing just fine.

 The last time we posted a Makoto Ozone show, it was his arraignment of Mozart's 9th Piano Concerto for Piano & Jazz Orchestra. A great piece of music and one hell of a performance. This recording is a little more traditional than that but no less of a performance. I love Piano Jazz and my favorites are Chick Corea & Keith Jarrett. Makoto Ozone is right up there in the mix. I mean anyone who is influenced, at 12 years of age I might add, by Oscar Peterson to play Jazz Piano has to be good! Actually Makoto Ozone is a fabulous player, a prodigy that started playing organ at the age of 2. At the age of 7 he was playing professionally on TV, which he did for 3 years. He studied music at Berklee College of Music at the age of 18 and released his debut Jazz LP at the age of 21. You will be hearing from him again real soon as I am listening to a killer performance of Makoto Ozone and Gary Burton together., Fabulous!!

Makoto Ozone is a Jazz & Classical piano prodigy. He started playing organ at the age of 2. At the age of 12 he switched to piano after hearing the great Oscar Peterson's records. At the age of 19 he entered Berklee College of Music. This project finds him arraigning Mozart's 9th Piano Concerto for Jazz Orchestra & Piano. You do not have to be a fan of Classical Music to enjoy this recording, the arraignment is pure Jazz. This recording comes as one long file, and since the performance is continuous I decided not to index the tracks and left it as is.
