Description:

Hidehiko Matsumoto, a tenor saxophone virtuoso who sadly passed away in 2000, has left behind two albums for Nippon Crown, "Hidehiko Matsumoto with Strings" and "Hidehiko Matsumoto Quintet", which are now being released as a 2-CD set. Disc-1 features familiar standards with strings in the background for a comfortable listening experience, while Disc-2 offers the classic "Danny Boy" and "Itsuki no Komori Uta (Lullaby of Itsuki)" with a hint of Jazz, allowing the listener to fully appreciate the eternal charm of the tenor saxophone.
