Review: Sinsuke Fujieda’s latest release on SoFa Records is a stunning new entry in the world of Japanese modal and spiritual jazz featuring five original compositions. This live-recorded album pairs Fujieda’s emotive saxophone with Fumiko Takeshita’s expressive violin and HAL-Oh Togashi’s masterful piano work and the resulting sounds transcend jazz traditions. It evokes vivid imagery and deep emotion, especially on 'Fukushima,' a tender tribute to the 2011 earthquake’s impact. With its raw yet refined energy, this beautifully pressed Japanese vinyl release from Superfly Records and Production Dessinee captures both the healing spirit and exploratory nature of contemporary Japanese jazz. A moving listen.
