Senri Oe Brings His Letters Back With Upcoming Album!

Industry legend Senri Oe announced that he will be releasing a brand new album, Letter to N.Y., July 21. The album will be his latest since Hmmmm back in September 2019 and will be his seventh original album since he became a jazz pianist. The work will be produced by Oe himself, who currently lives in New York. The idea of the work is centered around his time in the city while suffering from anaphylactic shock due to the COVID-19 vaccination he received. He also commented that he brought it to a music studio and did mixing and mastering work there as well. The jacket artwork was designed by illustrator Masaya Mizukawa. The album will come with eleven tracks total and be available through a CD-only standard edition. What makes this release special is that the formatting of the disk will be on a very special Blu-spec CD 2 which, for audiophiles, will make this one a must-have.
