A deep and mysterious groove that makes you hesitate to surrender yourself. Kiyoshi Sugimoto, a guitarist who has sharply shot through the center of the times. Here is the highest point.
Kiyoshi Sugimoto, a guitarist whom Terumasa Hino aspired to and Akira Ishikawa fell in love with. Their cutting-edge and diverse sounds have always been at the forefront of both modern jazz and jazz rock, and have sharply penetrated the center of the times. There is no doubt that this work Babylonian Wind captures one of the peaks of that musical expression. Hideo Ichikawas electric piano spreads out like ripples, Yoshio Ikedas plump yet restrained bass, Motohiko Hinos drums with fine grain and strong propulsion, Takao Uematsus saxophone that combines rusticity and luster, and a flash of light. Sugimotos sharp guitar. From Babylonia Wind, which seems to sway in the deep sea, to Hieroglyph, which leaves a delicate and ephemeral afterglow, you will be amazed by the variety of expressions and the depth of the groove.
