About the album
These live recordings capture me in my prime as a performance artist on the Japanese jazz scene.
From Greg
One of the chief highlights of my live performance experience in Japan was playing with Philadelphian-born drummer Gene Jackson… In 2008, we did two shows that were particularly memorable. One was March 29th at Yokohama's Bar Bar Bar, a wonderful jazz club where I was (gratefully) in rotation, and this performance was televised live for a TV show called, Yokohama Sounds… Both of these shows featured a very receptive audience and a stellar line-up of myself leading on guitar, Hiroshi Tanaka on piano, Gene Jackson on drums, and Canadian bassist Brent Nussey (one of the top bassists in Japan and formerly with Diana Krall) rounding out the quartet.
