Tetsu Saitoh - Strings The Moon

Review by Cadillac Muzik

Strings The Moon is a mesmerizing album by Tetsu Saitoh. The album features an array of compositions that are a blend of traditional Japanese music and contemporary jazz. Saitoh's expertise in playing the double bass is evident in each track of the album.

The album opens with "Yume no Tsuzuki", a beautiful piece that sets the tone for the rest of the album. The track features Saitoh's virtuosity on the double bass, accompanied by the haunting sound of a koto. The album then moves on to "Hoshi no Kage", a composition that showcases Saitoh's mastery of jazz improvisation. The track features a beautiful interplay between the double bass and the piano.

"Strings The Moon" is the title track of the album and is a standout composition. The track features a beautiful melody played on the shamisen, and Saitoh's double bass provides a steady rhythm that complements the melody perfectly. The album then moves on to "Kokoro no Uta", a beautiful ballad that is a perfect showcase of Saitoh's lyrical playing.

The album closes with "Kaze no Kanata", a beautiful track that features Saitoh's double bass and the ethereal sound of a shakuhachi. The track is a perfect end to the album and leaves the listener with a sense of calm and tranquility.
