JOHN ROSEBORO / ジョン・ローズボロ / FOOLS / その他

DIY感あふれるポスト・ボサノヴァでひそかに話題を呼んでいるハイチ系アメリカ人シンガー・ソングライター、ジョン・ローズボロの2NDフルアルバム。まるで彼の部屋に招かれたかのようなリラックスした雰囲気が印象的だが、メイ・シモネスがゲスト参加した冒頭曲、サンバのリズムに軽妙なサックスが絡む「80 Summers」など、ブラジル産ボサノヴァとは異なる個性あふれるアレンジがとにかくセンス良し。拠点とするNYでの、衒いのないセッションをそのまま真空パックしたかのようなその内容は、他の作品では得られない魅力がある。「Crumb」ではリアナ・フローレスもゲスト参加。
