Saxophonist/flutist Shinsuke Fujieda leads a group of virtuoso musicians to unleash Creole dance music. The French Caribbean jazz-zouk sound, ancestral to Henri Guédon and Camille Soprann Irdevere, finally comes to Tokyo! The ever-changing motifs and modulating tunes of "μtation" with Shinsuke Fujieda's flute, reminiscent of Max Silla, are synchronized with "the virus that keeps mutating" and "the world situation of the corona disaster," and is truly the powerful dance music of the French Caribbean Groove that appeared in Tokyo. This powerful dance tune is exactly what one would call the mutated system of French Caribbean Groove that appeared in Tokyo. The sleeve is newly drawn by Hiroshi Kawai.

  • SINSUKE FUJIEDA GROUP

    SINSUKE FUJIEDA GROUP The Sinsuke Fujieda Group is a Tokyo-based sextet led by saxophonist and flutist Sinsuke Fujieda. Fusing emotionally rich melodies and inner energy with grooves reminiscent of 1970s modal and spiritual jazz, their sound blends classical, world, and Eastern musical elements into a beautifully layered sonic landscape that transcends time. Their organic yet modern ensemble approach has earned them recognition as a new classic in the realm of Japanese spiritual jazz. In April 2025, their latest LP Fukushima was released in Europe by renowned French record store and label Superfly Records, achieving the remarkable feat of reaching No.1 on the Juno Records Jazz Chart.
