Led by bassist Shintaro Nakamura, this New York session blends spiritual jazz with gently swinging minor blues waltzes across five original compositions. Featuring Japanese trumpet legend Shunzo Ohno and a mixed Japanese-American ensemble—including pianist Jeff Jenkins, saxophonist Bob Kenmotsu, and drummer Fukushi Tainaka—the album showcases lush arrangements and strong melodic themes that invite deep exploration.
