The long-awaited LP release of the third album by the Tokyo jazz scene's elite trio, 'Banksia', a mysterious flower that pops it's seeds when lit on fire. The Banksia Trio's third album is a studio recording of the culmination of their live tour in the valley of the pandemic. In addition to five original compositions by the members, songs by Masaaki Kikuchi, Nick Drake, and Paul Motian were recorded on analog master tapes. In addition to the richness of overtones from the analog recordings, the hybrid use of high-resolution digital recording technology has achieved an extremely natural and nuanced sound expression.
