Fumio Itabashi, Henrik Schwarz, Kuniyuki : Watarase

A sophisticated intersection of jazz heritage and modern electronic precision, this release reimagines Fumio Itabashi’s Japanese jazz masterpiece Watarase.

By bringing together the pianist’s original vision with the sensibilities of German house producer Henrik Schwarz and electronic auteur Kuniyuki, the project transforms a classic of the Japanese jazz canon into a contemporary dialogue. The result is a bridge between eras, blending the organic fluidity of jazz piano with the deep, rhythmic currents of modern electronic music.
