SYNOPSIS

The debut album from trombonist Hiroshi Fukumura, this self-titled release captures a golden moment in Japan’s jazz scene of the mid-70s. Backed by a powerhouse quintet, Fukumura blends hard bop intensity with modal exploration and a lyrical brass tone that sets him apart. With sharp interplay and a warm, analog Three Blind Mice recording, the album stands as both a statement of arrival and a collector’s cornerstone in Japanese jazz.
