All the thanks in the world to Marty Holoubek and Shun Ishiwaka for bringing this music to life x

My Trio Album is the thrilling debut from renowned Melbourne based pianist James Bowers. Recorded at Tokyo's Studio Dede, the album features Earshift Music favourites, drummer Shun Ishiwaka and double bassist Marty Holoubek. The nine Bowers originals embody influences from Aaron Parks, Paul Bley, Messiaen, Prokofiev, Electric Wizard and Philadelphia Experiment, creating a musical exploration through Bowers’ broad stylistic vision. Performed with technical brilliance, lyrical beauty and, at times, explosive energy, the album presents a refreshing take on the acoustic piano trio format.

On My Trio Album, Bowers composed specifically for bandmates Ishiwaka and Holoubek, making the most of their palpable chemistry. The first meeting of this group was midway through 2019 when they came together to make Marty Holoubek’s celebrated debut Trio I.

James and Marty met when Holoubek first moved from his home in Adelaide to Melbourne, quickly forming a close musical and personal relationship based on shared ideals of honesty, creativity and trying to play with really great time-feel. It was through his connection with Holoubek that James then met Shun, and it was immediately apparent that the sum of these three musicians became something more than simply it’s parts. Shun is a rising star on the Japanese jazz scene, becoming one of his generations most sought after drummers.

Bowers is a prolific and diverse presence in the Australian music scene. Collaborations and recording credits include Angus and Julia Stone, Remi, Sex on Toast, and Vaudeville Smash. It is in no small part thanks to his work in pop/funk/hip hop at such a high level that James is able to bring such a fresh, diversely informed perspective to making jazz and improvised music.

"Though fluent in many musical languages, he maintains a voice that is uniquely his own that

I have a second confession to make. I actually quite admire Taylor Swift. I know, I know. I know she gets a lot of hate, and a lot of people don’t necessarily see her music as “real music”, whatever that means. I know liking her music is sometimes seen as “uncool”- how dare any serious musician say they like her stuff, it’s only for silly teenage girls. But if I’m honest, fewer and fewer people treat the whole Cantopop market as “real music” as well, so perhaps we kinda do share that in common. 🤷🏻‍♀️ So who am I to diss it? I actually really admire her, and definitely count her as one of my previously unspoken inspirations. I do resonate with the way she writes... because it’s kind of the way I write.

I recently watched her NPR Tiny Desk Concert, and if you don’t know about Tiny Desk, perhaps you could check it out and be inspired - it’s a YouTube channel where artists and musicians perform in a tiny cramped space behind a work desk - and it’s brilliant. I love the rawness of it, the realness of it, and the closeness of it. It takes what happens on a big stage into your average office work space. It was a surprise to see Taylor Swift there, because it usually features up-and-coming artists or jazz musicians, performances of which I enjoy thoroughly also. But this was a surprising one, and so I clicked. I admit I even got a tad bit emotional after watching it, not because of anything else but the fact that I can resonated with so so much the stuff she said about songwriting and her creative process, and I enjoyed how she picked the songs and played completely alone, stripped down and raw, in the songs’ demo versions. In between songs, she shared thoughts and her creative process so openly and vulnerably, and how she wrote her songs as self-therapy, usually with just one instrument, in her pajamas, in the middle of the night. In that format, she somehow still managed to find a dominant spot in the mainstream and manufactured pop world - and that was so reassuring for me because that’s how I have written a TON of my songs.

Very, very early on in my career, before R&K, one producer once said to me, “you’re not the best singer, you’re not really a great guitar player, piano you’re a little better but still not that great... but with everything put together, mayyyybe you would be able to become a little bit of something.”

And for me, to see someone like Taylor Swift do so well in this world, someone who doesn’t belt like Beyoncé, doesn’t shred on the guitar like John Mayer, doesn’t play keys like Alicia Keys, doesn’t riff like Ariana Grande... for someone like Taylor Swift to be the mega success that she is... is undeniably impressive, and downright inspiring to me. She doesn’t use fancy techy gear, she doesn’t use fancy chords, she doesn’t do fancy grooves or sing fancy riffs. She just writes songs like she writes her diary - but she’s also smart and catchy and commercial about it. She is an amazing storyteller of her own life, and without necessarily being the best at singing or any instrument, she was the best at telling her unique stories. With everything put together, and a strong belief in herself - she has used this creativity of hers to garner millions and millions of fans all around the world.

Sometimes, the mastery of a craft looks different for different people. Sometimes it’s not about technical perfection. Sometimes, those who are imperfect, broken, hurt, but headstrong, open, authentic, courageous, and unapologetic are more interesting. It’s like found their own way to harness their scars or life experiences, and turn them into doors leading to their eventual evolution through creativity. They tell stories instead of showing off. It’s reassuring and also comforting that this still sells, with this much competition in the market, and resonates with me so much.

I then watched the TED talk by Elizabeth Gilbert, author of Eat Pray Love after the tiny desk because Taylor said she watched it with tears when inspiration didn’t come. And I just teared myself also. Touched tears. Tears of inspiration. Tears of joy in finding people that seem to think like me, who share the weight of my worries, but are successful and made an impact in the world. I found myself nodding viciously in agreement idiotically in my own living room, when they share the anxieties, insecurities and fears that typically consume the mind of creatives. I am definitely an overthinker so I’m a victim of all that was mentioned. Ok, you’ll have to watch it to understand. But it felt like I was meant to listen to this. It’s based on the daunting feeling of failure when inspiration doesn’t come, or feeling like your best work is “untoppable” and therefore your best days are behind you. But inspiration isn’t from within you. Inspiration is this mysterious force in the universe, and you just have to catch it when it comes, and even when it doesn’t, just keep showing up for your part of the job anyway until it does. And when time comes, let inspiration, this outer force in the universe take over. You don’t have to be sad for writing a bad song, or too proud for writing a good one. Don’t beat yourself up, and just keep doing what you do. Leave that fear behind you. Absolutely life changing.

And with this, I’m gonna go turn on my water tap of inspiration and try to work on some songwriting now. Thanks for checking in 🙂

Till next time.
Choose love, and bring light.

遇上了爵士鋼琴大師Kenny Barron 及 當今最偉大爵士小提琴家Regina Carter !

【A Night in Baltimore with Kenny Barron & Regina Carter】
Last night I went with my friend to this new club in Baltimore, called Keystone Korner, to see Kenny Barron and Regina Carter! Man, 14 years since I graduated from Johns Hopkins!! Haven’t been back since then... Can’t believe it! Some parts didn’t change a bit, but some new parts are really happening! Feeling nostalgic... and enjoyed two great sets by jazz piano maestro Kenny Barron and probably the greatest jazz violinist Regina Carter! Mr Barron was smoking hot last night, and I showed him the picture we took 2 years ago at the Ron Carter 80th birthday show at Blue Note, and he was very happy... talked about his music, and my admiration for his work with Sphere, and he gave me Monk’s “Shuffle Boil” back in the second set! Finally met Regina Carter in person, and got to talk to her a bit too! What a humble soul... Although I look like a giant next to her, she is the real musical giant! I have been a fan ever since the first time I heard her on record! Also get to know a new friend Kiyoshi Kitagawa, long-time bassist for Kenny Barron. Love his guitar-playing-like approach to the double bass! Kiyoshi did mention about you, Teriver! The sets also included Wayne Shorter’s “Footprints,” Billie Holiday’s “Don’t Explain,” Gershwin’s “Lady be Good,” Barron’s own “Cook’s Bay” and other classics and lesser known numbers. Another unforgettable night of my life! And do support Keystone Korner in Baltimore!

Finally made the full version of Triple Jazz Waltz. Hope you like this version!

Hi this is SLS. Thanks for watching this video! This probably my favorite version of all my "夜に駆ける“ videos. Thanks to @我媽叫我不能打鼓 dabaolindrums for helping me finish this arrangement. I'm not a pro jazz pianist, but I really like jazz music. I've always dreamed to become a Jazz pianist like Hiromi Uehara or play like some amazing Jazz pianist on YouTube like Jasonlux, Jacob Koller, etc. I really wish I could have time to work on it. Anyway, hope you like this video, and make sure to watch all the "Racing into the Night" videos I've made!

Hi guys, this is SLS. Thanks for watching this handheld ONE TAKE video, I've never done anything like this before. The lighting, the shooting, the performing and the producing are all in completely new ways. I wanna thank you my cinematographer 建中, he's so PRO. Without him this work could never happened.

On the other hand, I just can't wait to see the movie "Infinity Train". And I have already played this Demon Slayer OP "Gurenge" by LiSA in 6/8 Waltz style on my livestream for many times, never thought of doing a video. I hope you guys like it.
