Ryan Cayabyab – Roots To Routes (Pinoy Jazz II)

Label:Jem – JLP-110 Country:Philippines Used LP 1977 Disc:VG+/EX (good shape overall) Jacket:VG+/VG (light wear, about 5cm tear on bottom) Following the first installment, which featured arrangements by Eddie Munji III, one of the Philippines' leading arrangers, this is the second installment in the Pinoy Jazz series, released the same year, showcasing striking arrangements of folk and traditional songs. This album is arranged by Ryan Cayabyab, who has worked on numerous projects as an arranger and has also achieved international acclaim as a conductor. With numerous players, including Eddie Munji III, participating, it boasts 9 flawless tracks with orchestral-like arrangements and performances. Starting with the funky driving groove of "Sitsiritsit Alibangbang", in addition to the gradually building psychedelic electric funk “Singkil”, mellow electric funk “Telebong” featuring female scat vocals, and also features a solid selection of ballads and medium numbers. Highly recommend this second one too. フィリピン随一のアレンジャーEddie Munji IIIが手掛けた第一弾に続き同年にリリースされたフォークや伝統歌を鮮烈にアレンジしたPinoy Jazzシリーズ第二弾。今作ではアレンジャーとして数多くの作品を手掛けコンダクターとしても国際的に活躍したRyan Cayabyabが担当。Eddie Munji III含む多数のプレイヤーが参加したオーケストラ並みの厚みあるアレンジを加えた演奏による隙なしの全9曲。パーカッションを中心にまとわりつくようなグルーヴでファンキーに疾走していく”Sitsiritsit Alibangbang”に始まり、徐々に覚醒していくサイケ電子ファンク”Singkil”、女性スキャット入るメロウ電子ファンク”Telebong”の他バラードやミディアムナンバーも充実。こちらも大推薦。 A1 - Sitsiritsit Alibangbang A2 - Itik Itik A3 - Ang Pipit A4 - Pen Pen Di Sarapen A5 - Telebong B1 - Singkil B2 - Manilac Lay Labi B4 - Leron Leron Sinta
