Asakawa Maki. Born in 1942 in Ishikawa-ken, Japanese female jazz and blues singer, lyricist and composer. Sang at US Army bases in Japan before getting her big break in a series of concerts. Maki’s first album recorded and released in September 1970 and came into being after an alliance with enfant terrible of the Japanese avant-garde Terayama Shuji (Tenjosajiki fame). Maki’s black clad and sugarless, petroleum dark coffee voice gets set against a folk-avant-jazz and psych backing. Stunningly fantastic female vocals and utterly rare.
Tracklist:
01. 暗い眼をした女優
02. 忘れたよ
03. こころ隠して
04. むかし
05. 新曲・Ｂ・
06. 夕暮れのまんなか
