Hitomi Iriyama- Milvus Migrans Over The Delta (CD)

This is a piece full of Iriyama’s world of phrases, tones, and unique compositions and arrangements. The sessions with up-and-coming jazz musicians that Iriyama has continued as her lifework have finally been made into sound recordings!Ryuichi Sakamoto’s ‘Merry Christmas, Mr. Lawrence,’ arranged by Iriyama herself, and Billy Strayhorn’s ‘Lotus Blossom,’ which begins with a solo violin performance. These masterpieces have been breathed into new life and brought back to life as melodies that resonate in the hearts of the audience. -MUSICIANS-Hitomi Iriyama (violin)Yuki Muto (piano)Hiroyuki Yamamoto (bass)Takahiro Sakamoto (drums & per)Songlist1.
