These guys really are wonderful. I have every Kingston Trio album, or did, and these guys will get a listen often. I saw The Kingston Trio Live towards the end of the original members passing. Bob was there , George was there and a guy from the Brothers Four. These guys are better than the concert I went to.
My Dad told me he was the biggest Kingston Trio fan in Canada. He just saw this group from Japan and told me: "This gotta be the best Kingston Trio tribute band I've heard anywhere. Including Canada & the U.S.A." TERRIFIC
The best iteration of the Trio since the originals broke up in about '68. For years Bob Shane let his voice go from too much smoking. These guys capture the tone and vitality of the original Stewart Trio. Simply great!
The New Frontiers sing The Kingston Trio featuring Aman Ryusuke Seto. Aman was my next-door neighbor in Gardena in 73 before I moved to Tokyo. He's an acoustic guitar master player, sings like John Stewart, grew up playing with superstar singer songwriter Yuming Matsutoya (Arai Yumi). A great friend. Back story - these guys broke up over 30 years ago and re-grouped around 2014 to record this tribute. The New Frontiers are Aman Ryusuke Seto, Chuei Yoshikawa and Gen Morita. Chuei is an acclaimed folk and jazz guitarist, Gen lives in Hawaii, plays and farms. Aman lives near Mt Fuji still plays / records has great solo career. After the original New Frontiers broke up Aman composed all original material and formed group called East.
Great to know this Cliff. I'm an avid KT fan (age 78) and saw the original guys live. This is the BEST recreation I have ever heard. Simply amazing how authentically they recreate the sound. What a gift to us old KT fans.
Who else is here in 2020? I'm 50 and was born with a martin tenor guitar in my mouth. Raised by listening to my dad play along with the records. This is amazing! Thank you for sharing this with the world!
Speaking from the year '23, at age 70. I watched the NBC Sneak Preview of 'Star Trek,' in September of '66 and immediately thought of 'The New Frontier.' What an age!
These guys really have the old Kingston Trio songs worked out to a tee. They are really true to the old versions and I think they really do accomplish what they set out to do. I think Bob Shane would be proud of these guys.
I've been a hardcore Trio fan for 55 years! These guys suit me just fine. The fact that they're Japanese is positively mind blowing. Apparently this was recorded in the 1970's - I only wish such a group were performing today. Thanks for this soundtrack!!!!
this tribute band is really good, they capture the escence of the kingston trio i was introduced to kingson trio music when pbs aired a documentary back in 2006 called The Kingston Trio Story: Wherever We May Go, it is wonderful , folk music is such a delight , then of course aside from the music cd appearances of kingston trio, the second appearance of the kingston trio music on tv was the European christmas markets special , which is fun
Great, these artist are really good. By capturing the Trio, they not only pay tribute to them, but to the folk music and to the American people. I salute this fine group, hope they are still having fun somewhere and entertaining audiences.
These guys are amazing!!! I saw the Original Kingston Trio with Dave Guard once and then saw the Kingston Trio with John Stewart 36 times. I absolutely adored them. I can hear Dave's, Bob's and John's voice and a bit of Nick's in this group! How wonderful. I love the side remarks they make to each other, as The Trio used to do to each other on stage. Thank you so much for posting this!!
Yeah, thesae guys do a great job at sounding like the voices, not just the notes and the instruments are perfect. These guys may love the Kingston Trio as much as I do.
Thank you!, Veriginia. I was a great fan of Kingston Trio. I think this group was the best Kingston Trio tribute band in Japan and there still are so many Kingston tribute bands in Japan.
Who ARE these guys?! They are great!! This is the only video I can find of them! They really just about outdo the original Kingston Trio themselves with the sheer quality of their renditions. So what I gather is that they are actually JAPANESE! Upon closer inspection, listening to their explanations to the audience, and from other comments I can see they probably are, yet nobody seems to know about what they are up to since this video was made perhaps some 30-40 years ago! the mystery deepens... Can someone fill me in and give an update about these great guys in the 21st Century 2020?
They are The New Frontiers. Members are Ryusuke Seto, Chuei Yosikawa and Gen Morita. You can watch some old video of them from here www.johnstewart.sakura.ne.jp/geocities/new_frontiers.htm crick the picture then the video will be loading.
LOL, as of 9/21/2023, Amazon has this cd offered by a third party seller for a meare $422.99. But hey, at least shipping is free. 😆😆 I would love to add this in my KT collection some day.
Members of the band "New Frontiers" are still alive but I think the band is no more exist. You can hear their songs recorded by audience here. www.johnstewart.sakura.ne.jp/geocities/new_frontiers.htm
Although they do sounds phenomenal, I feel like it is more quality of recording than performance. Because I agree these do sounds much better than most if not all the originals. Recording of the Kingston Trio sadly are not kept in good condition and just don't sound crisp.
