クリスマス・ジャズ・ナイト 2021 スペシャルゲスト：小野リサ
2021年12月11〜12日 東急文化村オーチャードホール
小曽根真（ピアノ）、石川紅奈（ベース＆ヴォーカル）、高橋信之介（ドラムス）、中川英二郎（トロンボーン）、中林俊也（アルトサックス）
スペシャルゲスト：小野リサ （ギター＆ヴォーカル）
前半は小曽根のコンポジションをメインに中川英二郎のトロンボーンと中林俊也のサックスをフィーチャーした形でのコンボ演奏。高橋信之介のクリエイティブ且つソリッドなドラムにサポートされる石川紅奈のベースがスピード感あふれるグルーヴでウォークし、歌い、小曽根のピアノとフロントのホーンプレイヤーを触発する。
コンサート後半にはゲストに小野リサさんを迎え、１部からはガラッと雰囲気が変わるブラジルの名曲に始まり、心地よいボサノバのそよ風がオーチャードホールに吹き始めた。特に小曽根真とのデュエットで歌った映画「ニュー・シネマパラダイス」の主題歌、石川紅奈のデュエットで演奏されたジョビンの名曲「Chega de Saudade (No More Blues)」は、その音楽の深い響きがあの会場にいた2000人の聴衆が息を止めてしまったかと思わせる静寂を作り出した。
コンサート最後は、ボサノバ・バージョンの「聖しこの夜」で幕を閉じた、最高のクリスマス・コンサートだった。
