Hiromasa Suzuki + Jiro Inagaki and Big Soul Media / BY THE RED STREAM (LP)

The sound that incorporates jazz rock, mode jazz, and free jazz is serious and profound. A magnificent concept album that will remain in the history of Japanese jazz, with the theme of "global anti-war and peace"!


Hiromasa Suzuki is a rare pianist/composer/arranger who demonstrated his skills in the groups of Terumasa Hino and Akira Ishikawa. Collaborating with Big Soul Media, led by Jiro Inagaki, one of the best jazz rock groups of our time, this work is unusual for a Japanese jazz work, and the concept is based on the theme of "global anti-war and peace." ·album. The sound that swallows jazz rock, mode jazz, and free jazz is serious and heavy, but at the same time, it is full of overwhelming dynamism.
Suzuki's ability to manage a big band and create a masterpiece sound is also splendid, and Big Soul Media, which listened to Suzuki's intentions and responded to his request, is also splendid.
Both Suzuki and Inagaki's activities in the jazz-rock era are at their peak, and this work is also important in that it captures the overlap between them.
