SUCCESSION

A dramatic encounter between the elite group led by Shuya Okino and a legendary drummer. Connecting the past and present of Japanese jazz and illuminating the future that is an extension of it. *Kyoto Jazz Sextet is an acoustic jazz unit started in 2015 by Shuya Okino of Kyoto Jazz Massive, a DJ/music producer unit that is active worldwide. With the concept of expressing the 'current state of jazz' rather than just a nostalgic hobby, he has released two albums so far: 'MISSION' (2015) and 'UNITY' (2017). *Fully featuring Takeo Moriyama, the pinnacle of Japanese jazz drumming. The two performed together for the first time as headliners at Tokyo Crossover/Jazz Festival 2021 held at Shinkiba ageHa@STUDIO COAST on November 20, 2021. The audience was overwhelmed by the spirited collaboration that transcended generations. *In addition to Moriyama's representative repertoire, which is popular among club jazz listeners, the album includes a new song 'Father Forest' written by Shuya Okino. The all-analog recording and cutting from a half-inch analog tape master create a robust and dynamic sound.
