Maher Shalal Hash Baz　『Hello NewYork』(CD)

ブルックリンを拠点にするレーベル「OSR」より2016年5月にリリースされたマヘル・シャラル・ハシュ・バズの新譜。ライブ公演をオープンリールで録音したらしく、「音質に独特のヨレがあります」と語るのは工藤冬里。
「塩ケ森」や「unknown happiness」など、ライブでもよく演奏される楽曲や往年の名曲「Epignosis」、ヴェルヴェット・アンダーグラウンドの「Dulce Juana（Sweet Jane）」のカバーも収録。異色なのはファレル・ウィリアムスの「HAPPY」のカバーを収録しているところ。

ハロー、ニューヨーク！


CDは、LP収録の24曲の他、別テイク10曲を含む34曲入り。

"In New York, we played John Cage first, then played 'Sweet Jane' on flamenco. At the beginning of 'Sweet Jane,' I tried to say 'Hello New York.' I didn't know whether my voice carried well. I said 'Hello New York' again. That was enough for me about New York. One of my dreams ahs come true." -- Tori Kudo
