 前回の『渋谷ジャム・セッション』の最後で告知したアルバム『森村献/マンテカ』が、いよいよこの18日に発売となる。森村氏は『オルケスタ・デル・ソル』『熱帯ジャズ楽団』etc日本を代表するラテンバンドで活躍するピアニスト。ここ30年間の日本ラテン音楽シーンを牽引してきた人物だ(写真1)。

  今回の日記では、森村氏自らにアルバムについて、そして自身と渋谷との関わりについて語ってもらった。
Relations with "Shibuya and my music I'm followed for a long time to really. I was a high school student was locked boy,'m mon was going to listen to the lock to live house Nante otherwise" Jianjian "right now. Oh yeah , I'm Shibuya 109 in 1979 was opened, I think that I'm a I was in charge of the arrangements of the music for the TVCM. I was still 25 years old at that time. "

 いきなり面白い話が飛び出してきた。それ以来20余年、氏と渋谷との音楽的関りはさらに深いモノとなった行く(写真2)。
Even You're 79 years was to start the activities of the "Orquesta del Sol. At the time, was the training of desperately arrange together .... Pecker (per) something and in a situation where not all Nante musicians are doing salsa 'm massaged. from the initial activity continued to live in the "Harajuku Kurokudairu", kana'm not appeared perhaps 200 to 250 times in this 28 years. "
Kurokudairu played 200 times by one of the band is probably most played record of orthotopic. New "Manteca" wonder can be purchased anywhere in the Shibuya.
I'm made to the center, "" Tower Records "" HMV ". I think this 2 Shop is because Latin music is strong. Speaking of Shibuya world music shop" El Sur-record "something also. The contents of the album, Some people like the Latin music, has become able to enjoy some people I too have no interest. the title song of "Manteca" is of Latin jazz super-Standard. even if title is not known, a lot of if you listen to the melody people "Oh, you know this song" it 's Husband think I. Fusion scene this song, which boasts the activity history in the Masato Honda (T Square etc (name drummer representative of Japan was active in the Cassiopeia etc) Akira Jinbo the to arrange an image of a play from the beginning of the saxophone player) to be representative, they told me to show off the best performance they even respond to it. "

 同アルバムは森村献の様々に変化するピアノプレイのみならず、豪華客演陣も魅力となっている。神保、本田のフュージョン・スター・プレイヤー以外にも、外山明(ds)、都筑章浩(per)ら、ジャズ、ラテン界の実力派が多数結集してサウンドの足場を固めている(写真3)。
During the "last three to four years, it's the song that has become a shelved was fine. Because reason became the shelved, was generated from the place of completely free from sound quality because I was something, that would slept in this state music could not be convinced as their own.

“何とか発表の場を作らねば”というのが、『マンテカ』制作のきっかけになったんだ。このアルバムは、料理に例えるなら一品料理ではなく、小鉢で様々な料理が出てくるコースメニューのような作りになっている。何度も聴いてもらって、曲ごとの様々な“味”を楽しんでもらいたいね」(写真4)
