This album marks the debut of a new unit formed by trumpet prodigy Shinpei Ruike, joined by top players George Nakajima (piano), Hiroki Chiba (bass), and Shinya Fukumori (drums). The sound produced by these four members, who have a deep understanding of the beauty of acoustic music, is dignified, beautiful, and truly unique. The creative sounds of these four musicians are meticulously shaped within a transparent space filled with refined tension.

    Born in Aomori in 1976, Shinpei Ruike first encountered the trumpet in a brass band at the age of 10, and was awakened to jazz by Miles Davis when he was in high school.
