The third of the works Japanese guitarist Hironobu Saito has recorded for Fresh Sound New Talent, follows that original meditative smooth groove which his previous CD introduced (“The Sea” FSNT 266).
While tenor saxophonist Walter Smith, and bassist Yasushi Nakamura are again present, pianist Aaron Parks gives this time a more impressive jazzy support to the electric and acoustic formats this set runs, an album completely penned by the guitarist, except for a special reading of the standard “I Wish I Knew”. As an anecdote, Hironobu Saito is endorsed by Ibanez Guitar.
