"Burning Blue"

Hailing from Hokkaido, Japan and now residing in New York, jazz pianist and composerEishin Nose presents his most recent project with “Burning Blue” recorded in 2006, his second album as leader (“Here Now Hear”, 2001 debut). Except for a brief appearance by Take Toriyama playing the frame drum and bells, and Yutaka Uchida on the Djembe on a couple of tracks, “Burning Blue” is essentially a solo performance from Nose laying down exquisite piano chops on ten original compositions.



Much of the music is generally light mid tempo jazz with the exception of the dark piece “When a Dinosaur’s Pissed Off,” where Nose plays hard pounding the keys into submission as if expressing the angry feelings of a monster through a few piano chords.

Nose’s charts are quite fluid and accessible providing a good measure of warmth to the music. This is evident right from the opening track, “I Hope” and flows through the other beautiful ballad-like pieces such as “The Lure” and the title tracks, “Burning Blue, 2005” and the shorter “Burning Blue, 2006”

There’s not much more to analyze here other than to emphasize that what you get with Nose’s “Burning Blue,” is a mesmerizing session of beautiful piano music from by a virtuoso pianist whose finger’s perform a magical dance over the keys resulting in a warm and enchanting recording designed to please one’s softer side. I’m sure we’ll be hearing much more from Eishin Nose in the near future.
