About This Items
Highly anticipated second pressing of this modern spiritual/modal jazz masterpiece.
This album by Tokyo-based saxophonist and flutist Shinsuke Fujieda and his group is a stunning work that has quickly become a new classic in contemporary Japanese jazz. Performed by a sextet of highly skilled musicians, the sound evokes the cool sophistication of 1970s modal and spiritual jazz, while seamlessly incorporating elements of classical, world music, and Eastern influences.
The result is a deeply expressive and beautifully crafted soundscape, filled with emotional depth and subtle energy.
Highlights include the flowing, piano-led modal jazz piece “Fukushima (edit)”, the gently sensual and oriental-tinged “Float In Oriental Spring (edit)”, the tight rhythmic groove of “Silent Night (edit)”, and the elegant, string-infused “Nobody Knows (edit)”. Tracks like “Perspective” showcase refined percussion and a spiritual jazz approach that lingers long after listening.
With its memorable melodies, cohesive artistic vision, and outstanding musicianship, this is a truly exceptional release that stands out as a modern jazz essential.
