A masterful work in which Toshiko Akiyoshi quietly blends her Japanese roots with modern jazz.
Featuring a quartet with Lew Tabackin, the album includes richly textured performances such as “Sumie,” where a distinct sense of Japanese aesthetics meets both tension and lyricism.
A key 1970s jazz release highlighting the delicacy and inner strength of Akiyoshi’s piano.
Recommended for listeners seeking a spiritual yet intellectually refined atmosphere.
