Mayuko Katakura, the first call pianist proud of the Japanese jazz world, challenged her first standard collection.We dare to remove the difficult songs that the expert likes, and pick up only simple masterpieces that every jazz fan knows, such as "Summertime", "Moanin", and "Softly as in a Morning Sunrise". So to speak, all the songs are the first to be practiced at the jazz circle at the university. There is nothing more difficult than drawing new appeal from such standards. How do the best pianists of the time interpret and crystallize jazz masterpieces? It is this album that recorded it.
