即興セッションで良い音が出た瞬間ってのは心の底から楽しい。楽しいので続けているうちにいつのまにか普通に演奏することを止めてしまった。今、俺が誰かの曲や決まった形のある曲を演奏する機会は年に数えるほどだ…てかほぼ無い。あまりの偏り具合に、最近はミュージシャンとかコンポーザーとかソングライターとか名乗ってはいけないよなぁ…と本気で思っている。ぜんぜん完成された曲なんて作ってないし。

今回の参加メンバーも実績、腕前ともに素晴らしくて、こういう機会を与えられていることを感謝するしかない。今も完成とは言い難いけどタイで活動再開した頃の自分を省みると未完成もええとこで、あの程度でよく今まで演奏機会を失わずに生き延びたもんだと思う。やり続けて少しずつマシになっているので日々精進である。今回のセッションは世界を飛び回っているYOSHITAKE EXPEくんの紹介で実現したわけだけど、YOSHITAKE EXPE、Marronという国境をまたいで活動しているふたりの日本人ギタリストとタイのギタリストGOLFさんを現場で見たことは俺の演奏に多大な良い影響を与えてくれた。この前ご一緒したNYのギタリストEyalさんの時もそうだったけど、音源ではなく生演奏を見ることでしか得られない感覚ってのが確かにある。

ここ数年だけでもいろいろな素晴らしいミュージシャンを見て肌で感じたことだけど、音楽を愛するみんな、特に若いミュージシャンにはできる限り素晴らしい演奏に生で触れることを薦める。誤解を恐れずに言えば、神懸った演奏には見ているだけで演奏を上達させるくらいのパワーがある。間違いない。あれはほぼ超能力みたいなもんだ。音を浴びるとエネルギーをもらえるって感じだ。

セルヒオは今日の演奏が終わった後、日本にも渡って演奏する。今日の昼間にメッセージでやりとりして聞いたYOSHITAKE EXPEオーガナイズのこのセッションの内容は、帰れるものなら日本に帰って見てみたいと思わせる興味深いものだった。大阪、京都で開催されるイベントのフライヤーを載せておくので時間の合う方は是非イベントに参加して欲しい。
