Apart from confirming that the next Pat Metheny Group longplayer, "American Garage," is indeed arriving shortly, the ECM artist filled us in on his first visit to Japan as part of a package of touring label artists. "It was sort of 'Young Americans on display,' " he said in summary, adding that while listeners there are indeed attentive and well-in- formed with respect to foreign artists, their reverence sometimes approaches the bizarre. "Over here, if you tell someone they sound just like another player, they'll be quick to say, 'No, I'm working on my own style.' Over there, musicians don't see that as an insult at all.

I even got to meet the Japanese Pat Metheny."

All of the songs in this album were composed by Ms. Itsuwa Canadian Double Platinum For Mouskouri and jointly produced by her and Ryoji Nagai. The arrangement was by Michel Bernholc with the back-up musicians all being French. Itsuwa made her debut in France two years ago, and since then she has been giving concerts throughout Europe. In the United States, she has recorded in Los Angeles five times. The reason she chose Paris this time was because of the feeling derived from French music, the Rnelody and harmony perfectly fitting the mood she wanted to convey in her music. The title of the album means 1) a transitional stage or 2) a fork of a road. This album is scheduled to be released on November 21st by CBS Sony. Just how she represents her inner change and the changes of the period from the late '70s into the '80s in her music is an interesting point for her fans. "Wanted" by Pink Lady was a smash hit in Japan a couple years ago and once again "Wanted" is fast climbing up the charts, at no. 38 on the Original Confidence chart this week. Although it shares the same title, this one is sung by an English group called The Dooleys. Epic Sony said it sells about 3000 copies of "Wanted" every day. They have unfortunately not had a hit in America as of yet and they are still quite obscure in Japan, but with their "Wanted" they'll surely attract the Japanese people's attention.
