Virgo originally appeared on the Jazz In Motion label as a Stereo CD. The three instruments blended into one sound, telling a story together. In a beautiful radio studio from the 1930’s, with a great sounding Steinway, only a few microphones but of the utmost quality and recorded directly to a 2 Track Analog Tape Recorder before a live audience. Instantly the delicate sound of these three instruments blended into gentle and generous music that warmed their hearts.Ī few months later, they recorded their debut album Virgo in the only way possible for such collaboration. On a cold winter day, they met in an empty church in Amsterdam and started playing. With trumpet player Angelo Verploegen they found their match – a soloist who can blend in, shine, and support the music all at the same time. Her vision is connected to Japanese Zen aesthetics that generate simplicity and spontaneity. She longed to create a unique unit of bass harmony and melody with each voice being equal and contributing selflessly to the music. Japanese pianist Atzko Kohashi had something special in mind when she invited Dutch bass player Tony Overwater to join her for a musical encounter.
Beyond ethnicity and nationality, they seek and discover their own sound sharing a passion for music.
Atzko Kohashi from Japan, joins two Jazz favorites from the NativeDSD Cataog – Tony Overwater and Angelo Verploegen from the Netherlands in this musical combo. The Kohashi-Overwater-Verploegen Trio is a Jazz group that creates a unique sound, standing on an equal footing with each other. It is a 2 Track Analog Recording that has been transferred to DXD and DSD by Sound Liaison. Virgo by the Kohashi-Overwater-Verploegen Trio is the latest release at Native DSD Music from Sound Liaison.
