Umi by KAZZ

KAZZさんの音楽、7月3日（「波の日」）に西麻布の『73』で初めて聴いたときから大好きです。
葉山にお住まいで、いでだちも音楽もいかにも海の人！という感じの方。でもサーフィン歴はほんの数年だとか。
ひろくんのライブでまたお会いしたときに、アルバム『Ｇｌａｓｓｙ～凪～』をプレゼントしてもらい、まわりが何ごとかと思ってしまうぐらい飛び上がって大喜びだった私。すごく素敵だからぜひ聴いてみて！！

一番目の曲、『海』をなんども聴きながら描きました。
ライブで聴くほうがだんぜんいいんだけどね！

A wonderful wonderful musician, a guitarist and djembe player named KAZZ, whose music I heard for the first time at a bar named 73 in Nishi-azabu on July 3rd and fell instantly in love with, gave me a copy of his album Glassy when I saw him again performing as a guest at Hiro's gig.

I don't think KAZZ was expecting me to get as excited as I did! hee.
Most of his songs are inspired by the ocean, to which he lives very close in a nice beach town called Hayama.
I painted this while listening to the first song on the album called Umi, which means (surprise!) "ocean."
