The songs on the album are all familiar standards.You can enjoy a breath-taking and flavorful performance.
Attention is the recording location.I recorded it in Taro Okamoto's atelier.By chance, the sound environment was as wonderful as the studio, and I realized it because I liked the two who had played here before very much.

It was recorded as a standard song loved by jazz fans such as "Dead Leaves", "Black Orphe" and "Lover Man" and a masterpiece "AfterDark" by Hidefumi Toki.
The glossy and overwhelming tone unique to Hidefumi Toki and the dynamism of Mayuko Katakura who takes it and develops it.
The sound of the two is full of respect for each other and the joy of playing together.
This project was born from the interweaving of various conditions, including chance, and everything is once-in-a-lifetime.
Since it is only 1 time, the sound must have been given a special sense of presence.Please enjoy the new 1 page of Hidefumi Toki and Mayuko Katakura.----Label Producer: Akiomi Hirano (Spatial Media Producer, Director of Taro Okamoto Memorial Museum)
