Reviewed: 2018-04-05 Genre: Jazz FCCs: none Review: All in all, this is a highly successful recording, with four musicians that are palpably in sympathy with Yuko Fujiyama’s vision, but strong enough in their own right to play equal parts in a vibrant playground of creative music making. There are little poetic texts given to each track in the foldout sleeve as a descriptive clue to what’s going on in each, but the music always tells its own story and you can allow your associations free rein.
