Apple Musicの助かる所は、Apple Musicのセンスを通したお勧めのアルバムを見つけられる事です。
先程、普段お気に入りのApple Music R&Bのプレイリストが、思ったより口に合わなかったので、Apple Musicジャズのお勧めを聴いたらとても好きでした。

| Of The Earth / Syabaka |
Apple Musicジャズのトップに出ていて、聴いてみると此の楽曲が一番好きでした。
Those Of The SkyやアルバムOf The Earthは、お風呂に微温湯(ぬるまゆ)を張ったり、大きめ洗面器にお湯とアロマオイルを1、2滴落とし、素足を浸けている時に流すと、とても合うのではないかと思います。
ミュージシャンの中には絶対音感という才能(ギフト)を持たれている方々が多数おられますが、 その中でもシャバカは景色から音が聴こえるタイプの絶対音感の持ち主ではないか、と思いました。
Apple Musicのアーティストリンクにはシャバカへの詳しい言及は無かったので、そういうスタイルの音楽活動をされているのでしょうね。
絶対音感というと、全ての音が全部音楽に聴こえる、又は音そのものに対して非常に敏感で、絶対音感というギフトの持ち主と一緒に過ごす場合、物音に注意せねばならない、というのが1990年代の日本での理解でした。
聞いた話なんですが。
音が全て音符で聴こえると同時に認識されるタイプ、
聞こえた音が何の音階か分かるタイプ、
頭の中で始終音楽が鳴って居て、ある日其れが自分だけだと気が付き、譜に起こす(楽譜に書き出していく)タイプ、
前述プラス、まだ知られていない絶対音感のタイプが、複雑に合わさって居るタイプ等々、
あらゆる絶対音感の持ち主が居るのでは無いか? と思いました。
複雑に合わさっているタイプは編曲に特化していたり、PAと呼ばれるサウンド・エンジニアに多くそのギフトを生かして、業務に就いているのではないでしょうか?
シャバカが自ら言及しない限り、此の方のギフトは分かりませんが、Of The Earthを一聴した時、此の人は目の前の景色から音が聴こえているか、聴こえている音の音符が見えているのかも知れないな、と思いました。
其れは、イメージ(想像内の描象形)という画(ピクチャー)から聴こえる音も含まれるのではないでしょうか?
他に好きだった曲は、
こちらは今日タイトルにしているアルバムOf The Earth 収録のStep Lightiy。
ジャズやフュージョンの音というのもシルキーで好きです。
此処まで行くと、サウンドシステムにまで拘らないとならないので私はとても緊張してしまうんですが、アイフォンでApple Musicのハイレゾロスレスにして、RERAXのスピーカーで流すと、HSPの私の耳でも十分問題無く聞けます。
RELAX マルチ レトロラジオ スピーカー
8800円
音が良いのと、此方は防災ラジオの機能も付いています。
私が持っているのは1983モデルでは無いのですが、1983モデル可愛いですよね。
他の機能は以下になります。
Bluetooth /MP3 音楽再生 / LEDライト /懐中電灯 /
通常、コード接続タイプ他充電
手回し発電 / ソーラー発電 / 左発電性能モバイルバッテリー対応可
FM/AM/SW受信可能
時計機能搭載 /TELEC認証取得済 (1983)
記憶ですが、ジャズは残りましたが、シャカタクを始め、フュージョンが余りメジャーサウンドに来なくなっていますよね。
私は昔はフュージョンが分からなかったんですが、シルキーな音はとても好きでした。
此方はApple Music ClubJazzから今流れて来た曲です。
お休みなさい。

The great thing about Apple Music is discovering recommended albums curated through Apple Music's taste.
Earlier, I realized my usual favorite Apple Music R&B playlist wasn't quite to my taste, so I tried Apple Music's jazz recommendations—and I really liked them.

Apple Music's top jazz track, and upon listening, this piece became my favorite.
Those Of The Sky and the album Of The Earth seem perfect for playing while running a lukewarm bath or soaking bare feet in a large basin with hot water and a drop or two of aromatherapy oil.
Many musicians possess the gift of perfect pitch, but among them, I think Shabaka might be the type who hears sounds from scenery.
Since Apple Music's artist page didn't mention Shabaka in detail, I suppose that's the style of music he pursues.
Back in the 1990s in Japan, the understanding of perfect pitch was that all sounds were perceived as music, or that people with this gift were extremely sensitive to sound itself. It was said that when spending time with someone possessing this gift, you had to be careful about making noise.
That's what I'd heard, anyway.

That's what I'd heard, anyway.
There are types where all sounds are heard and recognized as musical notes simultaneously,
types who can identify the scale of any sound they hear,
types where music constantly plays in their head, and one day they realize it's only them, so they transcribe it (write it down as sheet music),
types where the above plus other,
as yet undiscovered types of perfect pitch are complexly combined,and so on.
I began to think, perhaps there are all kinds of people with perfect pitch? That's what I thought.
Those with the complexly combined type might specialize in arranging, or perhaps many utilize that gift as sound engineers, known as PAs, in their professional work?

Unless Shabaka himself mentions it, we can't know about his gift, but upon first hearing Of The Earth, I wondered if this person hears sounds from the scenery before their eyes, or perhaps sees the musical notes of the sounds they hear.
Doesn't that include sounds heard from pictures (pictures within the imagination)?
Other songs I liked were:

Explore Inner Space, featured on the album African Culture.

This is Step Lightily from the album Of The Earth, which is today's featured title.
I also love the silky sound of jazz and fusion.
At this level, you really have to be particular about the sound system, which makes me very nervous. But when I play it on my iPhone with Apple Music set to high-resolution lossless through my RERAX speakers, even my highly sensitive ears can enjoy it perfectly fine.

The sound quality is excellent, and this model also includes an emergency radio function.
The one I have isn't the 1983 model, but the 1983 model is KAWAII, isn't it?
Other features are as follows.

As far as I recall, jazz has endured, but fusion—starting with Shakatak—hasn't really made it into the mainstream sound anymore, has it?
I didn't understand fusion back in the day, but I really loved that silky sound.
This is a track that just came on from Apple Music Club Jazz.
Good night.
