This is a leader album released in 1977 by Japanese pianist Takeshi Shibuya, who, since his college days, performed with George Kawaguchi and the Big 3 as well as Shungo Sawada's group. From the mid-70s onwards, he was active with his own trio while continuing to collaborate with artists across various genres. The trio consists of Minoru Kawabata on bass and Shoichi Miyazawa on drums. In addition to Shibuya's original compositions, the album features scores by Duke Ellington, Cole Porter, and Henry Mancini. It is a masterpiece where you can indulge in Shibuya's piano, playing beautiful melodies in a consistently relaxed atmosphere. This is the reissue released in 1979.
