3,850 yen

And Fumio Itabashi, composer of “Watarase,” one of the most famous original compositions in Japanese jazz history. With these two Japanese jazz legends at its core, the quartet is led by Miyuki Moriya, a female musician who most respects Kosuke Mine and Fumio Itabashi, and who has inherited the endless melancholy and energy of Japanese jazz. A baseless but powerful quartet exploring new jazz possibilities.

And now, our wish has come true with the release of our collaborative album, “Hon No Ri”. Thanks to the generous cooperation of the Shinjuku Bunka Center, we were able to rent the entire main hall and use two Stanway full concert pianos for this extravagant recording. We would like to take this opportunity to thank everyone involved in the production.
The first day of this event will be a live performance to celebrate the release of “Hon No Ri”. With the simplest duo formation of saxophone and piano, we will take you to various landscapes and worlds. Please do not miss it!
There is nothing more to say about the second day, the BW4 (Burning Wave Quartet) stage. The band has been on several long tours and is currently in a state of great intensity.

Yosuke Inoue TrioThe trio was formed by Yosuke Inoue, a jazz bassist who is considered one of Japan’s best, when he released his album “New Stories” in 2019. He has developed his sound with Kazuhiro Takemoto (p) and Shogo Hamada (ds), young talented players from the Kunitachi College of Music, where he teaches, and their sound, which mixes the royal road of jazz with innovation, always wins the hearts of the audience. The trio continues to challenge themselves by performing only the members’ original music at their live shows at Pit Inn, and each time they attract audiences with their creative performances.
Since the trio’s formation, they have toured live venues across the country and have established a strong reputation. In 2021, they continued their activities despite the Covid pandemic, releasing the album “Next Step”. Haruki Murakami also contributed a text to the liner notes.
In 2024, they released a much-awaited album “One Step Beyond” which was recorded live. This is his first live album as a leader.
This is the strongest album that condenses inexhaustible interplay and a fun atmosphere that makes the audience smile! With the cheers of the audience during the live recording, Yosuke Inoue Trio goes one step further = ONE STEP BEYOND

Yasuhiro Yoshigaki 5DAYSWe will have a 5DAYS event again this year. Thank you again for your support. This time again, we have several projects that we have been working on for the past few years. The first day is iKnoW Electric Re-Bop Double Band, a group of wonderful musicians of various generations. What originally started as a session to play Thelonious Monk tunes has evolved over the past decade into an electric double band that pays homage to the likes of Ornette Coleman and Shannon Jackson. The second day will be an improvisation session with Masahiko Satoh, which has become an annual event. I will have a gathering of my beloved improvisers. The third day will be Tales Of Another, the most jazz-like band I’ve ever done. Akira Ishii will be back on stage after recovering from an unforeseen accident. With love to Keith Jarrett. Day 4 will be a big trance day with Otomo Yoshihide joining YHI&Y, which in recent years has become the rhythm section of Ryuichi Yoshida’s PLays Carla Bley band. On the last day of the event, we will call it “The Heartbeat of AACM” and will try to play “Great Black Music – Ancient To The Future” with a large group. – Yasuhiro Yoshigaki
