Aki Takase Plays Fats Waller
Aki Takase / Thomas “Fats” Waller
Aki Takase lovingly salutes one of the early jazz masters — though this is definitely not a nostalgia piece: it goes well beyond homage to something original, unique, and completely new. The Japanese pianist won the prestigious German Record Critics Award for this project.
