SYNOPSIS
Released in 2025, Fukushima finds Tokyo-based saxophonist and composer Sinsuke Fujieda drawing on the spirit of 1970s modal and spiritual jazz, with touches of Japanese traditional music and classical influences. Inspired by the 2011 Great East Japan Earthquake, the album explores themes of memory, loss, and renewal through warm saxophone lines, expressive violin, delicate piano, and hypnotic rhythms. Deeply reflective yet full of life, Fukushima feels both rooted in the golden age of spiritual jazz and distinctly its own.
