Yosuke Onuma - The Three Primary Colors (2004) [SACD]

Yosuke Onuma is venturing into a new world of guitar trios. Pat Metheny made his debut at the tender age of 21 with the masterpiece guitar trio album "Bright Size Life." At that time, he was joined by the genius bassist Jaco Pastorius, who was also only 24 years old. And in the 21st century, Yosuke Onuma is a guitarist whose future is highly anticipated, and Richard Bona is a genius bassist who is said to be the second coming of Jaco Pastorius. For Bona, who used bicycle wires instead of strings during his time in Africa, modern basses are like "cotton," and indeed, Bona's bass produces a softer sound than anyone else's. Furthermore, Yosuke Onuma's guitar sound is not only groovy, but also characterized by a soft sound that reflects his personality. In short, they are a perfect match. Drummer Ari Hoenig, who was brought in at Bona's recommendation, is of Greek descent, born in Philadelphia in 1973, and is the same generation as Yosuke Onuma. His sound is very tight and sensitive, and he is a drummer with outstanding technique and sense. The vivid sound produced by these three amazing musicians gives the feeling that this will be a masterpiece that will go down in history.
