about

Originally released in 2006. A mixture of jazz composed by Taeko Kunishima with two tracks based on Japanese folk songs.

Red Dragonfly: ‘Taeko Kunishima and her quartet have largely managed to avoid a lot of the well-covered ground in the modern mainstream area, and in so doing she's carved out an identity for herself both as a composer and a piano improviser—while the group, admirably suited to the subtle, implied demands of her music, has succeeded in carving out an identity distinctly its own’

★★★★☆ rating (4/5)
