The Penguin Cafe orchestra, formed by Simon Jeffes with several musicians gathered in his room, mixed many different types of music with rich and varied ideas and wits.
In the late 70’s, their music was called “ambient music” or”environmental music” and loved by people all over the world.
I have loved and listened to their music since their debut.
In 2004, I came up with the idea of making this tribute album to The Penguin Cafe.
These twelve songs in this album reflect deep affections by participating musicians for them.
I am so glad to release the album in 2007, the tenth anniversary of Simon’s death, in his beloved place Japan.

With my love to Simon,
