• 180 GRAM VINYL

Returning to her early Three Blind Mice period form, Ayako Hosokawa delivered one of her most popular albums ever in 1993 with A Whisper of Love. Working with a fine ensemble of American jazz players (along with pianist Shota Osabe on two tracks), her delivery had developed a quiet confidence: relaxed and playful. This great set of classic torch songs gives Ms. Hosokawa a matchless showcase for her melifluous tone and buttery delivery.
