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

    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
