6th DIMENSION"Live"/ DIMENSION
A Japanese electric jazz group DIMENSION are-Akira Onozuka(Keyboards)Kazuki Katsuta (Sax)Takashi Masuzaki(Guitar)They are appreciated highly as session players.They formed a band in 1992 to pursue their own music with original sound.Since then, they have released 21 albums so far, while each members working together with various musicians such as Sadao Watanabe, Ryoko Moriyama, Larry Carlton, and Sing Like Talking.They are described as a group with techniques that are matched by none.They say that they've respected each other since they formed the band -the members have never switched.In 1996, they declared that they'd release albums for three months in a row; the first of those three albums is this.And this is their first live recording.According to them, some of their latest albums are distributed to the world on iTunes Store Japan.However, the scene we can enjoy the appeal of DIMENSION the most is live performance, as this album shows.-And so is the bass performance of Tomohito Aoki, who supported DIMENSION with a drummer Masaharu Ishikawa. While I was searching the website they mentioned at the concert in December 2008, I happened to find an interview movie of Aoki talking about this album.So I placed this album instead of their latest album "21".(See also Sep. 21, 2007 and Jun. 12, 2008)March 23, 1996, Rooms Records BMCR-7004◇ :Ready to place translation if asked
