Tal Wilkenfeld/Tokyo,Japan 8.28.2019

Beautiful genius bassist Tal Wilkenfeld released his first solo album in 12 years, “LOVE REMAINS”, and made his first solo visit to Japan in 4 years. Her finest original recordings will be released at the same time. Among them, this work was recorded at the Tokyo performance held on “August 28, 2019”. This is the best audience recording. This time, there will be a total of 6 performances in Japan, 2 performances over 3 days. First, let’s check the show’s position from the schedule.・August 28th “LIVE IN TOKYO 2019 1ST NIGHT: 1ST STAGE” ・August 28th: ​​Tokyo (night performance) ←★This work★ ・August 29th: Tokyo (daytime performance) ・August 29th “TOKYO 2019 2ND NIGHT: 2ND STAGE” – Move & Off August 31st: Osaka (daytime performance) August 31st: Osaka (evening performance) In this way, a total of 4 performances will be held in 2 days in Tokyo. This work is a live album that records the “first night performance”. The biggest point of this work is the superb sound that is “super”. Anyway, it’s clear and close. The venue is club-sized with a capacity of 300 people, but this work clearly shows the feeling of being in a closed room, and the performance is right in front of your eyes. In particular, Taru’s vocals are as delicate as a sigh, and it feels so close that you can almost shake her if you reach out your hand. Of course, the bass is also clear, the various phrases are vivid down to the single note, and the beautiful lines and rolling grooves are clearly discernible. Even modest harmonics can be felt beautifully from the moment they start to the moment they die. If you listen closely with headphones, you can hear a slight audience-like sound in the snare, but that’s because you’re trying your best to find it. It is a famous recording that you will forget that it is an audience recording if you listen to it normally. The show, drawn with such a sound, features his first solo work in a while, “LOVE REMAINS.” All 10 songs from the album are performed, and it is literally a “live performance board LOVE REMAINS”. However, that’s not all. He mixes in cool cover songs, and changes them every time. The “Opening Night Performance” of this work features THE SMITHS’ “How Soon Is Now?” And Taru, who plays such a set, is wonderful. It is clear that his talent as a bassist is loved by such greats as Jeff Beck, Herbie Hancock, Lee Ritenour, Trevor Rabin, Steve Lukather, etc., but this time he will be even more famous as a vocalist. Active. Now that she is 32 years old, her beauty has lost its youthful appearance, but her singing voice is also truly impressive. While playing the bass that he often sings, he creates melodies, sometimes ennui, sometimes delicately. In recent years, Jeff Beck has also used a female vocalist, but it might be interesting to have her return to sing. Taru, who was only 22 years old when she came to Japan with Jeff and had the innocence of a young girl, is now 32 years old. The bass improvisations I play while singing have become even richer, and I’ve become more mature as a musician. This is a live album that allows you to get closest to her. A masterpiece that should be listened to alongside the official works as the 100% original version of “LOVE REMAINS”.
