As Well Be Spring [Japanese Import]

• American club singer Anne Young's first album recorded when she came to Japan in 1975
• 1xLP pressed on Classic Black Vinyl

Ann Young sings emotionally and lively. The Yuji Ohno Trio draws out and enhances its charm to the fullest. I am fascinated by the absolute masterpiece 'Speak Low'

American club singer Ann Young's first album was recorded when she came to Japan in 1975. Backed by a trio of Yuji Ohno, Yoshio Ikeda, and Yasuyoshi Okayama. It is a masterpiece that has been sought after for a long time both in Japan and overseas, with the recording of the absolute masterpiece 'Speak Low', which is glossy and full of dynamism. Eyes and eyes tend to be attracted to the same song, but this work has an emotional singing such as the light and neat 'Old Devil Moon', the graceful and beautiful 'Autumn In New York', and the earnest appeal 'Don't Explain'. The charm of young people is packed. And the arrangement and performance that draws out and enhances its charm to the fullest is also excellent. This work is also attracting attention as one of Yuji Ohno's valuable piano trio works.
