Description:
One cabdriver is here.
........................................................................................
I am a cabby.
I like back streets.
Why is it?
It is because the life is lying in here like the pebble.
I carry the life.
Mother had said in old times.
"Get a useful job for the person at the people."
Therefore, I feel the boast.

Well,
This is My car.
What do you think?
Will you look cool my car?
By the way,
you,
Do you know?
Swing of jazz.
Before,the leading figure of the jazz field said.

The swing is slowed down.
So,
It take her of the beautiful woman in the passenger's seat of the cool car.
And, it cruises in the town.
It shows it off.
The passer-by's attention is attracted.
This is swing.
Do not rush it never.
Do not panic.
Quiet it more.
Slowly, slowly.
It shows it off.

Therefore, I also slowly cruise.
It cool like the swing.
Do not shout.
Because it is not a crumb crusher any longer around there.
Install brass balls more.
Hey,everyone seeing my car.
However,
there is to our regret no beautiful woman in my passenger's seat.
However,
it is good. It is good in this.
I carry picking up the life.
I am the back street cabdriver.

Fabulously abstract! This makes me feel like I'm driving through crowded
city streets on a rainy night. I like the lyrics too. Perhaps you should find
someone with a deep and gritty voice to read them over this amazing
track?

explanation.

this reminds me a little of gritty science fictions scenes like "Blade
Runner" or even "The Fifth Element"... and it also has a sped up sort of
film noire vibe to it...

Your drumming is very musical here. You and perceptual vortex are really
stunning me with how musical drumming can be. The tone of the guitar is
very present and real, it has great tone and feeling.

It is always a pleasure to listen to what you create, Tadashi.

Ed,
Thank you very much.
"Blade Runner" and "The Fifth Element"
Both are famous movies also in Japan.
However, I do not look it to my regret.
I want to look by a chance.
Thank you for the impression concerning the drums and the guitar.
I am glad for you to feel my music.

Original as ever! &mdash 03/14/06 - 08:03:12 PM
Some parts very reminiscent of Weather Report, but as original as ever.
Outstanding playing in all areas - still love your drums best, but
everything else is also excellent! You have a perfect sense of what
works and where to put it. Neil

Tadashi, you are truly gifted. I can never know the grand makings of a
mind that can conceive of the types of music that you have been
creating... I just drop out of the thinking part and quckly skip to arrive
at a pure acceptance of what it is to be a genius... You are a musical
genius sir.

And thanks for sharing who you are... Your work is always stunning!
Dion

free styling &mdash 03/22/06 - 02:23:19 PM
free styling jazz, i love the way the piano part seems to push it all
along. that doubling slightly delays effect is also cool. very advent
gard, that guitar tone is ultimate jazz. the bass morphing into the
synth=excellent nice chops

back street &mdash 04/19/06 - 02:12:05 AM
this is a very cool piece... my first i've heard of yours on here, actually.
i've heard much mention of you, not sure why it took me so long to get
here.

definitely evokes that feeling of being in a cab... darting around. taking a
back route, a shortcut. then all of a sudden on a familiar path again.

i like what you say about a cabby being a carrier of life... so is music -
and this piece definitely has plenty.

Step on it, Mac! &mdash 06/29/06 - 08:57:39 AM
I love the move from the fast, manic synth run to the smooth guitar
solo. You really have a creative gift for music, and I'm glad I can listen
to it.

You should make a demo and send it to a record company like Blue
Note or Impulse. You have a good chance of getting a recording deal.
