I love the version on this one: I didn't realize the song was written in 1938! Did I read that right?

I don't know how true this is,,, BUTT,,, I think it's a neat story ! ! __________________ Here's an interesting piece of information. You should know this stuff. You may be asked to share your expertise sometime. Never can tell... In the 16th and 17th centuries, everything had to be transported by ship and it was also before commercial fertilizer's invention, so large shipments of manure were common. It was shipped dry, because in dry form it weighed a lot less than when wet, but once water (at sea) hit it, it not only became heavier, but the process of fermentation began again, of which a by product is methane gas. As the stuff was stored below decks in bundles you can see what could (and did) happen. Methane began to build up below decks and the first time someone came below at night with a lantern.... KA BOOOOM! Several ships were destroyed in this manner before it was determined just what was happening. After that, the bundles of manure were always stamped with the term, "Ship High In Transit" on them which meant for the sailors to stow it high enough off the lower decks so that any water that came into the hold would not touch this volatile cargo and start the production of methane. Thus evolved a certain term. Take the first letter of each word of, "Ship High In Transport and you have that word. You probably didn't know the true history of this word, huh? Well, neither did I.....

Sure looks good! And with only 5000 . . . and the interest in Motown that is so much bigger than the interest in jazz (right?) won't be around too long!

Not to mention lovingly remastered sound; the Water Gale sounds so much better than the Blue Note France issue of Black Rythmn Happenin's . . . !

If you provide them enough sunlight, the chlorphyl-vinyl is unmatched!

Water has been doing a wonderful job with the material they lease from BN (and other labels). From Blue Note leased material, I can heartily recommend the two Eddie Gale cds!

The Newton is a trip. I've been tempted by the Larry Willis releases but have never heard them.

Born in Tokyo, Yoshiko Kishino had started playing the piano when she was three, following her parents' advice. Even then, she outshined others in having perfect pitch, and she could turn all the music she heard into music sheets in her mind, surprising those who were around her. Surrounded by and raised in her family of music lovers, she had been awakened to band-activities, so she put together a band copying the Beatles after she had entered junior high school while studying classical music. She had seen eyes on the hit-tunes on the radio, and had joined in various bands when she was in high school, very much actively played in a number of school festivals. So, she had spent such impressive youth as a band-girl ("rock-girlie" by her own words). Then she went on to study classical music seriously, as she entered Toho Gakuen School of Music majoring in music. During her school years there, she also continued with her band activities that had shifted from playing rock to contemporary jazz/fusion, inspired by the music world-widely popular musicians, such as Lee Ritenour (guitarist), and Sadao Watanabe (saxophonist). She was awarded twice as the "Best Keyboardist" at Yamaha's popular music contest which is a prestigious gateway to success for the amateur musicians, broadening her horizons through pop music. Soon after graduation, she formed her own group and while performing shows, she concentrated on brushing up her song writing and arranging skills. Thorough her stage performing experiences, she came to realize the importance of "ad-lib" and her interest in Jazz rapidly enhanced. Looking back to those days, she confesses that her idol of that time was Oscar Peterson. In 1987, she had done a motion picture soundtrack for the Shochiku Movie "Hoshizora no mukou no kuni" and it was well received. It was one of her best opportunities to prove her skills in composing and arranging. After that, she went on to seek for her new direction in jazz, and started to perform as a jazz pianist. With her shows based in Tokyo, she quickly became a friend with famous jazz players who are filled with the originality, such as Akira Sakata. In 1992, she joined the tour of the Middle East with Takio Itoh's group, which plays Minyo (Japanese traditional music). She played together with many artists all through the year. It was another opportunity of her to broaden her career. Her inclination toward Jazz deepened through the study of Bill Evance, and that is well reflected in her composition and arrangement, as well as in her performance. In 1995, she recorded her debut album "Fairly Tale" in New York as a first Japanese female artist for GRP Records. This is well appreciated both domestically and internationally, as the secure first step took by a "hot" new artist. In 1996, she recorded her 2nd album, again in New York. It was released in June that year, it entered in the hit chart of Swing Journal magazine and Ori-Con magazine (industry paper). In the same year she came to appear regularly in TV program called "Meikyoku Monogatari", broadcasted by TV Osaka and TVK. In 1997, inviting Philippe Saisse as the producer, she recorded her 3rd album, third time in New York. "Rendez Vous", the 3rd album into which she aggressively adopted the Digital sound source, etc., with the intention for the drastic expansion of her sound identity. In December 1998, she experienced the first domestic recording. In Spring 1999, she released her 4th album titled "You Are So Beautiful", which was filled with the broad selection of Jazz standard in both CD and LP. This particular album became one of the best selling Jazz CD of 1999 in Japan. In November, she released her first Christmas album "My Little Christmas". Also in this year, she performed "Panasonic Jazz Festival" in New York with own trio. Yoshiko's first Los Angeles recording was done in May 2000 supported by the great master of engineering, Don Murray as the engineer. In June 2000, she had her first tour in Taiwan, performing in Taipei and Gao Shung, which are were all highly praised. Her first orchestration album "Tenderness" which she recorded in Los Angeles was released in September 2000. Followed by a tour in October. This album established her firm valuation and popularity as a jazz pianist of new era. And also the first DVD "Tenderness" which is performed the concert at Akasaka Blitz was released. In 2002, she released a long-awaited album after 2 years since last-hit "Tenderness", her 8th. album "SIESTA" is included the most popular Bossa Nova numbers could be called "Brazilian Elegance". "SIESTA" was done in New York and Tokyo with well-known artists who are Marc Johnson, Romero Lubambo, Danny Gottlieb and especially Emiko Shiratori sings Corcovado and Siesta by Yoshiko Kishino as a guest vocalist. And in thsi year she has joined the new album of Orange Pekoe, also took part in the soundtrack of the movie "Inochi" (the film starring Makiko Esumi and Etsushi Toyokawa), still broadening the field of her activities. Also included the tittled "Red Note" was written for Panasonic TV-CM by herself. In 2003, her best selected album "PORTRAIT" was released on March. And this year as she made 43 days concerts and live-performance with own group in a year, it was very active year because that she played with her trio, bossa nova unit "Brazilian Unit", solo and trio with strings as a new style. This new unit was built up to 2004's new album. Finally on Nov. of this year she recorded for new album for 2004 in Prague with genius bassist George Mraz from Prague and drummer Pavel Zboril in Prague and strings in Prague also. Especially she made all strings arrangements with famous Prague string players.
