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.

Artist Profile

  • SINSUKE FUJIEDA GROUP

    SINSUKE FUJIEDA GROUP is a jazz ensemble based in Tokyo, led by saxophonist, flutist and composer Sinsuke Fujieda. Rooted in modal and spiritual jazz, the group brings Fujieda's original compositions to life through improvisation and the interplay of its musicians. Lyrical melodies woven by saxophone, flute and violin meet propulsive grooves and open-ended development, combining a distinctive compositional voice with the spontaneity of a living ensemble. Released on vinyl by France's Superfly Records in 2025, FUKUSHIMA reached No. 1 on Juno Records' Jazz Chart and Discogs' Best-Selling New Releases Chart. By 2026, cumulative vinyl pressings had reached 9,000 copies. The group also performed at THE PALACE OF WONDER at Fuji Rock Festival in 2025. On 7 October 2026, Fujieda's independent label SoFa Records will release INFORMEL, a double LP that reimagines a 2020 Tokyo live performance from the group's present perspective, tracing its musical roots through a newly reconstructed work.
