Now! by Masaru Imada stands as the pianist's debut leader recording for Three Blind Mice, the label's second release. Featuring four original compositions, the album balances introspective moments with experimental exploration. "Nostalgia" and "The Shadow of the Castle" reveal Imada's lyrical sensibility—intimate and emotionally restrained. "Alter" ventures into free improvisation, while "Gehi Dorian" anchors itself in modal jazz tradition. A compelling introduction to a visionary pianist's artistic vision.
Genre: Jazz, Japanese, and Japanese Jazz
