【 About This Album & JM (from CD)

About three years ago, I received a tape of Jun Miyake's music through a mutual friend.
The tape knocked me out ; in less than an hour I heard almost every type of music on the earth pass by, in a consistent way , by an artist who was obviously in control of the proceedings. Jun has an incredible understanding and command of all musical languages unlike anyone that I ever encountered ; and in my musical travels, that is quite a fea. There is also a lunacy present, which never got in the way of the overall vision. I wanted to work with this guy !

The album takes the listener on a very unique journey always guided by Jun's unique yet familliar arrangements and his trumpet playing which shows up at the perfect moments. From the Caribbian, island vibe of "Ca fait Longtemps", the Rudy Vallee feel of "Building Man", and the
Orson Welles Meets Z world of "Crime Passionel", this is a magical audio movie that strongly holds together as one piece, while taking one through a surreal history of music.

In my own work I have taken the strong catalogues of Thelonious Monk, Nino Rota, Kurt Weil, Walt Disney and others, using artists incliding Tom Waits, Sun Ra, and Gil Evans, Keith Richards and Leonard Cohen, interpreting the music in my lifelong pursuit in finding where these personalities meet. In Miyake we find all of this in one person really.
His music is sophisticated but not hi-brow and always beautiful while keeping a sense og humor.

Hal Willner
