Followings are the message from Mr. Kondo: I have Elias's albums , "Illusions" and "Sings Jobin". Most titles of her albums have image of summer. Elias does not have outstanding talent for singing, but she has a great sense of rhythm and phrase of Bossa nova. It makes her one of the popular Bossa Nova singer. "Dreamer" is an excellent album that Elias's husky vocals and saxphone by Michael Brecker's make great performance with the subtle string orchestration. You will feel happy and relaxed to listen to it. 2.Cappuccino's Jazz Live Concert Report I went to "Jazz On Top" on July 30. I arrived there one hour before because I really looked forward to the organ concert. I found several audiences were seated already. Title of the concert is "Akiko Tsuruga Organ Trio" and they usually perform their live in NY . Drums is Grady Tate, Guitor is Satoshi Inoue. Their first album "Harem Dreams" was released in May. Hammond Organ B-3 was set in center of the stage. They performed several musics in their album "Harem Dreams". "KIKO" was a blues at a light tempo composed by Grady Tate . Their performance sounded like chatting delightfully. In "Green Sleeves" the warm tone of organ harmonized very well with guitor and it was a great performance. Grady Tate sang "My funny valentine" and his sweet and romantic voice was so fantastic. I like both organ and drum. Last November I went to the live concert by Lou Donaldson(Sax) Quartet in Village Vanguard in NY. Organ performance by Lonnie Smith was funky and I really enjoyed their live. Akiko Tsuruga was apprenticed to Lonnie Smith. Grady Tate made a great performance at Jazz Street at Takatsuki in May and audiences were charmed by his seductive vocal and drums. They played fanky. Jazzy, soulful, blues, Latain, Bossa Novas, Classic musics with wide range. I really enjoyed the warm tone of organ by Akiko Tsuruga and felt gentle hospitality by members. Their performance provided an atmosphere of Jazz Club in NY. Keiko Tsuruga is going to appear a documentary movie of Hmmond Organ B-3. Official Website of Akiko Tsuruga : http://akikotsuruga.com/ 3."Walking around Akihabara" by Taro Akiba I finally decided to make amplifier's chassis by copper plate and looked around several shops in Akihabara. I found that the processing cost for chassis might be around JPY 50,000 , so I tried to make it by myself as much as I could in order to reduce the cost. It was difficult for me to process hole for plug and transformer. Then I asked Tokyu Hands(DIY Shop) to process it. If I make the frame by wood, it would totally cost less than JPY 10,000 including processing cost and copper plate and it might be reasonable. Therefore, I spent the balance to buy transformer and tubes. http://www.hifido.co.jp/merumaga/tarou/040813/index.html I bought an output transformer manufacturered by Hashimoto but I could not find appropriate ready-made power transformer . I found the shop for made-to-order in Akihabara and asked them to make original one. They said that it would take two weeks to make it. I really looked forward to get it. As to tube, I bought RCA and SILVANIA. I looked around many shops to find suitable register. I asked my friend ,"Which manufacturer's condenser might be better?" "Bita Q might be the best" he said, however, it was really difficult to find. I might walk around Akihabara to find all parts and it will take several days. To be continued. 4.Auction in Newsletter The following is the result of auction in last week: 1)Stereo Sound #23 Extra Issue - All for Stereo Cassett Deck Number of bids :2 Winning bid :JPY 1.501 2)THORNENS Stabilizer Number of bids :2 Winning bid :JPY 10,000 3) SONY HA-T10 Step-up Transformer Number of bids :4 Winning bid :JPY 1,900 The auction items in this week are as follows: 1)World Audio HI-FI COMPONENTS SERIES Vol.1 LUX Published date : December 30, 1975 Size : B5 Number of pages : 259 Price at release : JPY 1,200 This is the first issue of World Audio Series magazine and featuring LUX ..
