I've been listening to these Hino-san utubes for years. I can say, having lived in Japan, that this art form is beloved by many; and is respected, as are the musicicans play it--myself included when I lived there. Same thing above applies when I lived in France. Now back in the States, forget it...and even in NYC where I've come "home," its a bad scene. Hino-san worked hard at developing a cornet for Yamaha which accounts for all of the different proto-types you see in all of his utubes.
This is indeed great playing by Akioshi &Hino & reminds of a visit of Herby Hankock to Calcutta & a Jam Session which was arranged -a local trumpter Tommy Ferandez jammed with Herby -I am thrilled by the on going playing also by the bassist. Great for the Japanese musicians having learnt to perfect the Jazz Tradition. At NYC night clubs the Japanese audience are serious listeners and teach the humility to listen -pin drop silence to appreciate the Jazz nuances....
I really appreciate that he is playing a cornet! I beautiful instrument that was king in the eaely days of jazz but all too seldom seen now. I am trying to figure out what make of cornet it is....
I've got to agree anar, Americans today don't give a crap about great music like this. I'm in my 60's and I feel like an infant when I go to a jazz event everyone is in their 70's and 80's. Not so in Japan, Europe and even Canada. Recently in Toronto I went to club that was packed with college age kids listening to and playing straight ahead jazz. Good luck finding that in the USA.
um, excuse me, we invented jazz. we might not have a lot of original inventions of our own as americans but we do own jazz and we have the best jazz trumpeters here, still. go to new orleans or st. louis and you'll see it.
Rap music and hip hop is pretty much the same just one which is rap is more about cars and money and females, the other which is hip hop is more about the mind, body, and soul. Its like saying rap(50 cent) and common (hip Hop). Neither is bad, but i still prefer jazz more
WoW~...Mr. Hino...I remember he played once at EBS in Korea. I wonder how he is doing... I think his air pocket just like a Mr. Dizzy. I miss his playing. Could you some one let me know where I can see his playing if I fly to Japan? Spcial thanks to ID named "jazzytaka" for uploading this clip.
Jazz is totally not mainstream in this country. With due respect to rap and hip hop I can only say that last week driving in florida I stopped at a light and was bombarded by loud FU bi**h and suck my d**k lyrics coming from a car with two young white girls. If this is the unparalleled genre I'm missing out on I guess I'll just have to suffer. The point is that Jazz remains very popular in Europe and Japan and I respect those people for their love of such great music.
Well, their are still some who love so much they and sleep it? Cough (me) cough. I'm 24 and i love jazz its crazy. I stopeed plaing my trumpet a few years ago and it was the dumbest thing i did, but this year i started over playing my horn off and on by myself. i love it classical and jazz forever. rap, country, piff boo. By the way peps i'm black too. I would rather listen to jazz then guys rap about her tough their are but they are just impressing other guys to me. kinda gay dont ya think?
Yes I know that. But i just wish americans we're still into it as they were before. Sadly most of them would rather hear something like Lil Waynes "A Milli" than a great preformance of "Staright No Chaser"
