episode
Two Owners of The Jazz
Bar
published in
April.2017: On
the same day last week, two owners of the jazz bar in
Niigata city and Murakami city came to our listening
room for Hasehiro Premium for Jazz
Audio Fans Only. The bar owner in Murakami city came to
our listening room accompanied by the bar
owner in Niigata city because he wanted to
replace JBL4312 currently used in the bar
with Hasehiro
Premium for Jazz Audio Fans Only. Mr.M, who is a
regular in the Hasehiro listening room and also a customer
of both jazz bars, thanks to advertising that
specializing in jazz to both bar owners.
The
bar owner brought a lot of CDs playing at the bar, but the
owner was surprised just by the start of the track
that I first played, the owner said, "Oh, great, it
is nice! cymbals are so
real!"
"I'm looking forward to listening how
this Maki Asakawa sounds." As the owner says, it
seems that there are the most requests for Maki
Asakawa. I put
the CD album that the owner is accustomed to listening in
the tray of the CD player. To her singing voice, the
owner instantly "Sounds good." We listened to
all the CD albums brought by the owner over 2 hours
while
talking. "This is amazing,
really amazing..." The owner repeatedly murmured
with
a smile all the
while.
"For Jazz Audio Fans Only is a
loudspeaker that understands the good or bad of the
recording clearly. It seems likely to put it horizontally in the current place in
size, so let me
order."
Jazz cafe bar
GAKUYA
published in July.2017: We delivered Hasehiro Premium
for Jazz Audio Fans
Only to the jazz
bar "GAKUYA"
in Murakami city. We received the following comments from
Aoyama owner via email.
"Our For
Jazz Audio Fans Only is giving out a very good sound thanks
to you. My wife liked it instantly and she is pleased
that more fun comes to GAKUYA. (OO)/ The customers' reaction are
also
wonderful and everyone will be surprised. The singing voice
of Maki
Asakawa who has the most request became more
real. I am entertaining every day as
well. I'm really thankful to
you."
Hasehiro Premium for Jazz
Audio Fans Only is in the place where JBL4312 was
placed until then. In April of this year, Aoyama owner of
the jazz bar "GAKUYA" came to our listening room
accompanied by Sato owner of the jazz bar "Jazz
FLASH" in Niigata city. Previously, I
brought For Jazz Audio Fans Only to the jazz
bar "Jazz FLASH" for listening. That Sato owner
commented,"This is playing better than the one heard at
my jazz bar before, and the bass is well
out."
Jazz club MONK'S MOOD JAZZ
CLUB
Subsequently, Hasehiro Premium for Jazz
Audio Fans Only was installed at the jazz
club "MONK'S MOOD JAZZ
CLUB" in Niigata city.
The south area of Niigata Station is a popular
spot with "Zelkova Street" where
beautiful zelkova tree runs about 1km. It was the fall
of last year that the jazz club "MONK'S MOOD JAZZ CLUB"
opened on that street. Mr.M of the Hasehiro listening
room regular also recommended For Jazz Audio Fans
Only to the jazz club owner, too.
The jazz club owner got even more interest as a
result of being delivered to the jazz bar "GAKUYA", and we
received an order from the jazz club "MONK'S MOOD JAZZ
CLUB".
According to the jazz club owner, many
audiophiles in customers, and For Jazz Audio Fans
Only is very popular with that customers. Most of the
jazz fans like the sound of the middle class
backloaded horn speaker named "For Jazz Audio Fans
Only" from a jazz critic, Mr.Yasukuni
Terashima. Hasehiro Premium for Jazz Audio Fans
Only has a crisp sound and a powerful bass. And
above all, jazz fans are fascinated by metal sound full of
realism such as high-hat which is the most characteristic
of this middle class backloaded horn speaker. development inside story of For Jazz Audio

An Unexpected Honorary
Citizen
Excerpt from Niigata Jazz
Street: http://www.niigata-jazzstreet.com/about.php Niigata City has long been popular with
jazz, so there are plenty of performers, enthusiasts and
jazz related stores. Jazz concerts are also a lot as
regional city, and most jazz giants such as Charles
Mingus,
Bill
Evans, Miles
Davis, Cecil
Taylor,
McCoy
Tyner, Keith
Jarrett,
Sonny
Rollins, etc.
came to Niigata City. Currently, jazz
concerts are held actively in Niigata city's jazz
clubs, live houses, hotels, restaurants and
halls.
Duke
Ellington has
performed for over 50 years with his
orchestra, wrote numerous musics and
arrangements. He is a famous band leader who gained
worldwide reputation through repeated overseas performances
and hundreds of records based in New
York.
Duke Ellington came to Japan right
after the Niigata earthquake that
occurred on June 16, 1964, heard to the devastation of
Niigata city during the performance in Japan, canceled the
next scheduled Hawaii performance, and he held "The
Special Concert for a Raising Relief Fund of
Niigata Earthquake" at the Tokyo Kosei Nenkin
hall on July 8 the same year and gave all proceeds to
Niigata City. Niigata City gave a gratitude and gave
him the title of "International Goodwill Honorary
Citizen" when he came to Japan again in two years
after May 1966. Duke Ellington seemed to be happy,
saying,"I had a lot of prizes as a musician until now,
but I am the first time to be an honorary citizen."
When Mayor of Watanabe said "Please come to
Niigata when you come to Japan for the third time." he
promised,"I want to come." Four years later,
his concert in Niigata City was realized when
his third visit to Japan. After another four years, a jazz
giant was called to heaven at the age of 75. Warm
memories with Duke Ellington are supporting Niigata's
Jazz.
