GUEST,Arthur Stiffy BS: bad translations (116* d) RE: BS: bad translations 12 Oct 09


"Norio Maeda was born in Osaka, Japan, in 1934. Highly esteemed not only as a pianist but also as a brilliant arranger.
He was garnered the "Award for Best Arrangement" at The Tokyo Music Festival in 1981, the "Award for Best Arrangement" at The Japan Record Awards in 1983, and "Fumio Nanri Awards", the highest award in the world of Jazz hosted by Swing Journal Magazines.
..he formed "The Windbreakers" with greatest pianists in Japan, and "Triple Piano" with Masahiko Sato and Kentaro Haneda in 1988.He is an acclaimed pianist as well as composer/arranger, a representative figure of Japan, widely accepted from all quarters. He celebrates his 24th anniversary for his own group, "The Windbreakers"


.. well no accounting for Japanese sense of humour,
But Mr Maeda would seem to be a serious musician of some cultural significance..

Hmm.. from a Western point of equivalence..

Stan Kenton and Arsequakes
Buddy Rich and the Trouser Blasts
Count Basie and the Bottom Burps..

dunno.. somehow I'd suspect bad translation over intentional smutty muso in-joke.. ?
