Description:

For a quarter of a century since the release of his first leader album, alto saxophonist Atsushi Ikeda has consistently faced jazz head-on and continued his steady activities. Known for his wide-ranging and flexible performance style, from solo work with only one saxophone to various combos and big bands, and from bebop to free jazz, he has now completed what he considers his most jazz-like jazz album. All original compositions were carefully crafted over a period of five years with his trusted band members.
