Hanami: The Only Way To Float Free
Il clarinetto basso di Jason Stein è ormai uno dei più riconoscibili e interessanti in circolazione, il sax di Mai Sugimoto ha voce increspata ed eloquio zigzagante, spigoloso, la chitarra di Andrew Trim sa essere incisiva e camaleontica tra riff sporchi, cattivi e acide armonizzazioni di stampo folk, Charles Rumback, batterista tra i più richiesti, dotato leader di propri gruppi, è un moto perpetuo di groove e di misura.
The Only Way to Float Free risulta così un piccolo gioiello nel quale il jazz, il rock, l'improvvisazione si fondono con la tradizione folklorica giapponese senza smancerie e facili concessioni ma con forza di idee e brillantezza esecutiva.
