Flowing like water, filling the heart a fusion of jazz, post-classical, and ambient in a Fountain of Solace. Debut single "Fountain of Solace" by IOSUI is a 6-minute-19-second journey where jazz, post-classical, and ambient elements meet. With backgrounds in the US and Europe, the trio crafts a vivid sonic landscape shimmering piano, rich double bass, and delicate yet powerful drums painting scenes like a watercolor. Inspired by the phrase Fountain of Solace, this instrumental piece offers quiet comfort and deep serenity. Perfect for calm jazz playlists, meditative instrumentals, and late-night listening.
Formed in 2022 at the initiative of Tetsuji Matsuo, the group performs mainly original compositions by each member as well as improvisational pieces. Masaki Kai, a double bassist with experience studying and performing in the United States and Europe, serves as the sturdy trunk of the band. Around him, Kenichi Takahashi is beautifully radiant and expansive piano,along with Matsuos delicately yet boldly flowing drumming, flourish like branches, flowers, and fruit in full bloom. Their sound evokes impressions of jazz, post-classical, and ambient music, creating a sonic landscape as vivid and evocative as a painting through rich musical textures. The band name, pronounced JOSUI, means like water.
