Tamami Koyake by request starting with Tamami's First, from 1980









Good news for the guy who requested this artist, who is sadly totally unknown everywhere online so far as I can tell (which is not very far at all of course): because for the next ten days, we'll cover all her early albums starting with this first one.

All instrumental, composed music featuring mostly flute on melodic solos but also vibes, etc., and of the highest caliber, in terms of emotional variety.  Arrangements are extremely well done with sometimes the whole orchestra (including string section), sometimes just electric piano and guitars, note that these were done here by Isao Suzuki, who also plays bass and who I just featured.  

The music is very similar to Japanese violinist Linnko Kishi, recall posted way back here.

The second track called Drowsy Time gives you an idea of the extreme beauty of not just the composition with its very original and unique chord changes and delicate flute playing but the arrangements as well:

  1. I also added 1986's Hot Flute, which is quite disappointing in comparison, with just flute renditions of jazz standards. More coming soon.
