内容紹介
The album title "J" comes from the word Japan as Seiji Katz brings a touch of "Japanese" to his latest album. Through his soul searching of his Japanese roots, Seiji finally gave birth to this album and named it "J".
The album contains some of the classic hit covers such as "Yosaku", a Japanese classic song by the famous singer/composer Saburo Kitajima who represents the Japanese "enka (Japanese soul music)" scene, a romantic "Waltz of Stars" and a re-arranged Seiji Katz's version of the Beatles hit "I wanna be your man." Seiji also puts his playful hat on with "Pistachio" which throws you into a pub-rock arena and "Shamrock" takes you on a ride back to old Ireland.
This album is a clear representation of how an Ukulele can turn into a versatile instrument. Be sure to listen to this album!
