Segal-Cathy Garcia / Strange,Phillip- Live In Japan (CD)
Cathy Segal-Garcia and pianist Phillip Strange spent many years traveling throughout Japan and a bit of Europe together, enjoying the pared-down intimacy of performing as a duo, building strong bonds with each other and with their audiences. This live, 2-disc recording from a Japan tour in December 1992, came just 3 months after recording their debut, "Song of the Heart," with bassist Marc Johnson & drummer Peter Erskine. Inspired and completely in-tune musically, "Live in Japan" offers a peek into that intimate musical space where the resultant authenticity and transparency creates a rich listening experience. "Boil Segal-Garcia down to her essence, she's simply a weaver of dreams, a starry- eyed wanderer and free spirit who, nevertheless, possesses strong artistic instincts and the organizational savvy to pull off one unique project after another." - Dan Bilawsky, All About Jazz
