A sharp, resonant feast where oriental influences intersect with the passion of a big band.
This album will stir your heart with arrangements that combine elegance and passion, and will take you to the depths of jazz.
The essence of big band jazz. Deep within its intricate arrangements lies an Eastern sensibility. In the title track, "Salted Gingko Nuts," piano and brass intertwine to a subdued intensity, blending lyrical melodies with dynamic rhythms. The more you listen, the more you are drawn in by the depth and tension of the ensemble. Although this work was released in 1979, its timeless value is evident here.
