2014年最後のライブはスワンで越智巌さんのライブでした。
強力男子と私という編成だったのですが、本当皆さんかっこ良くて音楽やっていて良かったなと思い、2015年へ向けての活力となりました。
実は2013年の最後のライブで大失敗をしてしまい心折れていて、2014年の目標は、緊張しない事。でした。
精神面、メンタルタフネスがどんなに大事かというのはどんな分野でも言える事だと思いますが、音楽に置いてもこれは本当大事だと毎回痛感させられます。
そしてもう1つはやはり音楽は準備ではないという事。特にジャズはその場での即興で作られる音楽だという事。越智さんのエネルギーがスゴくてそれに乗せられました。
ドラムスの本間さんが誘って下さったのですが、本当!にありがとうございました。
これからも頑張ります。
My last gig in 2014 was "Iwao Ochi quartet" at Swan in Niigata.
These were very strong guys (means really talented) and me on the side:)) They were so great and I felt very fortunate to play music with such talented musicians. This gig made me want to work harder for next year 2015.
I made a huge mistake at my last concert in 2013, and my heart was broken. I was very nervous at the concert and my new years resolution for 2014 was to work on my mental toughness.
I read several books but I could really say that experience was everything. Compare to the previous year, I played twice more gigs in 2014. I would say that I got used to play in front of people a bit more. But preparation and everyday practice are also very important, too.
Mental toughness is very important in almost all fields, but I felt it keenly in music.
I also have to say that music is not about preparation. Especially Jazz is all about improvisation. Mr. Ochi really improvised for the moment. I felt he brought me another level of improvisation.
Mr. Honma, the drummer asked me to play for this gig. I can't thank enough for him! Thank you Honma san!
I hope to play again with them.
