This 2025 collaboration brings together Hozan Yamamoto's masterful shakuhachi with the Shungo Sawada Quintet's bossa nova sensibilities. The meeting of traditional Japanese folk instrumentation and Brazilian rhythmic sophistication creates something genuinely unique and captivating. Yamamoto's flute work is graceful and expressive, floating over subtle bossa nova grooves and modal jazz harmony. The quintet provides understated but sophisticated accompaniment, allowing the shakuhachi to remain the focal point throughout. The overall mood is meditative yet rhythmically engaging, sophisticated yet accessible. This limited pressing from Cobrarose Records represents genuine artistic fusion rather than mere musical tourism.
