   About Kaoru Azuma
Kaoru Azuma performed jazz vocal in her hometown of Osaka, Japan. But she realized that to get to the heart of the music, to understand the culture in which it was born and to master the nuances of the language, she had to continue her studies in New York City, the capital of jazz. In 2003, Kaoru enrolled in the jazz studies program at the City College of New York (CUNY), where she became immersed in the study of jazz theory, history, arranging, English diction, improvisation and vocal technique. The melting pot of New York City changed her profoundly; according to Kaoru "it opened my mind and let me know who I am." She discovered herself and had a story to tell through her music. After receiving her BFA degree from City College, Kaoru began performing in clubs around New York, but the needs of her family have drawn her back to Osaka. The CD, "Footprints in New York," is her dedication and farewell to the city that taught her so much about American jazz. Her selections are primarily compositions associated with the great jazz masters she admires so much. Currentlly, she's been working as a teacher in schools and performing in Japan. Her CD release gig at Cornelia Street Cafe in New York was held and succeeded on Feb. 2009. Her CD was reviewed and recommended as Hot New CD for Summer 2009 on one of the famous jazz magazine in New York, Jazz Improv Magazine on June 2009. She has been known as a remarkable creative jazz vocalist. ..DigStation - Indie Music Downloads

いつもブログ拝見しています。
Lars Janssonさんのインタビュー記事読みました。
「とても気さくでジェントルマンで細かいところまで目が行き届く感じの方でした。」
やはりというか、彼のMySpaceでの顔写真をみると、とっても穏やかな方だと思っていました。
Swedenの人って、何か我々日本人と合うなと感じていますし、音楽もスッと入ってきます。
Bossanova好きでもありますよね。

アルバム”Footprints in New York”聞いてます。いいですね!! また、繰り返しになりますが、”The Water is wide"も大好きです。PCの前でしか聞けないのが残念だけど。。。。
これからも宜しくお願いします。

"Have A Nice Quiet Sunday"

"How much of a beast can you be
After only a few hours of sleep?
Now go take a nap
Then we'll tear up this town"
I overheard this conversation
Between king kong and Godzilla
Going down
So, Please forgive me if I make haste
Spreading the news around
But I wanted to say
Have a nice quiet sunday
Before I head out of town
Just kidding
Being silly trying to make you smile
Hug and Run are in the monster suits
Spreading some love around

Kaoruさん、
いつもブログ拝見してます。
今日は中秋の名月、お月見です。
「月見れば 千々に物こそ 悲しけれ わが身ひとつの 秋にはあらねど…」

秋の雨音がそんなにも早く訪れるの・・・・・・
素晴らしい詩ですね。大好きです。

今、雨が降ってます。

" A Feeling"
"I have a feeling that they are laughing at us a lot
Thinking we know it all on our grain of sand
We're so damned small
I have a feeling, that's all

We must be the show from planet zero
Reserved for stubborn asses
And wanna be Nero's

Those who choose to hide their heads instead of plan
A better world
For their fellow man

Until you care
We won't care
I just have a feeling they're saying that
Somewhere

They still haven't admitted they're in way over their heads
I just have a feeling
Somewhere that's being said

Anyway, what would I know?
I'm just a stubborn ass
Who refuses to surrender hope"
