GAB's Rating: ★★★★★


The original modern jazz compositions with a unique combination of acoustic and electric guitar sound present the concept of human manners are in fact described differently, depending on particular individuals.


Jazz musicians always look for different source of inspirations. The instrumental music and improvisation are meaningful as its best deliver in-the-moment feeling of musicians. I am one of those jazz musicians who look for sharing this wonderful moment with you, audiences. Allow me to tell my stories.

"Regards to You II" is a completion of the idea of writing song for someone. Julphan Tilapornputt catches the fact that writing song for someone does not have to be in the form of dedication, so how about writing song "from" someone.

We all have friends, parents, influences and even enemies who constantly influences ourselves in different ways. One day I went to the Louvre Museum in Paris to experience the famous Mona Lisa with my own eyes. Once I left the picture, I had kept asking myself why I am not inspired by the picture at all although this picture has inspired many artists over decades. I found that it is not because of "Mona Lisa," it is because of "me." Once I reviewed the answer myself. I realized that I was already inspired by the Mona Lisa.

How about Mona Lisa becomes alive? that is the beginning of "Regards to You II" concept. The compositions were done by portraying 9 persons who influence me in 9 different ways, leaving rooms for improvisation so the musicians can fully express their perspectives in the song.
