After Chikuzen made a release of " Don't Stop Me Now -Cornerstones E.P.- ",
He held live concerts performing with big band jazz orchestra in Tokyo and Osaka.
This album includes all the seventeen songs performed at the concert in Osaka , and he made a release of this album as one of the "Cornerstones" series , his cover works album.



Chikuzen named Big band jazz orchestra that performed with him " Rockin' It Jazz Orchestra ".
He praises those musicians, describing that " top of the top of the top...
Just listen to " Birdland ", and you'll see what he means.
"Rockin' It" is an old expression, but he used this phrase to express the excitement of the stage, and to show how the barrier of music category is low by performing famous songs of pops and rock with jazz orchestra.
He selected well-known rock and pop songs that would sound familiar to many people, and intended to interlace those famous songs and big band jazz orchestra's authentic style.

One of the songs is " Together ", a popular song of Sing Like Talking .
Chikuzen says that he expected how it would be exciting to perform this song with big band jazz orchestra, and simmered the idea so that he could make this performance come true someday.
" Do I Do " is included in "Cornerstones E.P.", and in this album, this song is performed with a salsa band Salsa Swingosa .
 This time, this song was arranged for performance with jazz orchestra.
  How about comparing those two performances?
Those songs are arranged by the trumpeter Eric Miyashiro
He didn't take part in concert in Tokyo, but he came to Osaka.
Eric says: He and Chikuzen are the same age, so Chikuzen's selection of songs and his taste were similar.
It was exciting to arrange those songs, but it was a hard work because all of them are famous songs.
Even so, he thought Chikuzen's fabulous singing as a part of instruments and worked on arrangements of harmony and rhythm, which was an adventurous challenge for him.

Several of the songs are performed with various style of horn section; sax ensemble, trombone ensemble, jazz trio with a trumpet...

This album is on sale on April 22, 2020 .
May 27, 2020 .
  Due to Novel Corona-virus infection, many concerts and events that he planned to take part in were canceled .
But during winter, he was working on mixing of this album.
I'd like to expect that he devoted his passion to this album all the more instead of those canceled concerts.
Chikuzen says on the radio that this album would go best with #StayHome .
