‘Dear Mari Nakamoto’ by TAKEO FUJII
“What is jazz vocals?'' is as difficult a question as “What is jazz?'' Even if giving a sufficient answer is impossible, I would like to point out the following two as essential requirements. The first is that ‘Voice must be a single instrument'. This means that as a powerful musical instrument, voice must have a swing feel and be able to play jazz with a lot of improvisation as with other instruments. However, at the same time, the second requirement is that ‘There must be a warm heart-to-heart exchange with the listener’. Unlike other musical instruments, there is no inorganic instrument between the singer and the listener, so a direct, sharp yet warm heart-to-heart interaction between people – strongly since it’s jazz – is required. I believe that these two things, freely using one’s own voice like an instrument and richly conveying one's heart to the listener, are the basic requirements for jazz vocals.
Mari Nakamoto's third Three Blind Mice (TBM) release showcases her tender vocal style, complemented by the masterful accompaniment of Isao Suzuki on bass and Kazumi Watanabe on guitar.
