MIDNIGHT SESSION / Live at Pat's http://store.cdbaby.com/cd/shinobuito2

About Me

The 80's where live houses were more crowded with many audiences. As a leader, guitarist Shinobu Ito, who lives in New York, was also playing around in the city regularly & mostly at PAT'S in Midtown those days.

His CD / ONE LIFE TO LIVE recorded live in Tokyo in 1991 was once reviewed as a legendary live recording of Roppongi Pit Inn, but this MIDNIGHT SESSION was recorded live in NYC in 1989 which was two years back.

This night's fiery fusion live that begins with the rumbling of a large customer conversation makes the listeners feel like as if they are listening to music in New York City at the time. And this is a very precious live recordings done by one of the few Japanese musicians at that time.
