The melody is powerful and passionate, yet nostalgic at the same time. Fluid violin and passionate piano intertwined with vivid flute breaths. Rhythms that give the essence of Latin/world music heat up the floor.

Artist Profile

  • SINSUKE FUJIEDA GROUP

    A new classic of modern Japanese spiritual/modal jazz. Emotionally rich melodies and hidden energy weave a beautiful sonic landscape. Led by Tokyo-based saxophonist and flutist Sinsuke Fujieda, this sextet brings together top-tier musicians from across the Japanese scene. Their sound evokes the cool grooves of 1970s modal and spiritual jazz, enriched with elements of classical music, world music, and East Asian influences. The result is an organic ensemble that transcends time and opens new horizons in contemporary jazz. In April 2025, the group released their vinyl LP "Fukushima" in Europe through Superfly Records, a renowned record shop and label based in France. Members: Sinsuke Fujieda / Tenor & Soprano Sax, Flute Fumiko Takeshita / Violin Shinichi Tsukamoto / Piano Shigeru Kato / Bass Kensaku Osumi / Drums Daisuke Arakari / Percussions
