About

Le Très Jazz Club presents a re-issue of the album 'Primrose'. This relatively unknown but superb Japanese modal jazz session by pianist Hiromasa Suzuki was originally only released in Japan in 1978.

It's effectively a showcase for the impeccable piano playing skills of Hiromasa Suzuki, a Japanese scene stalwart who played on hundreds of albums until he passed away in 2001. Yet while Suzuki's fluid, loose and energetic playing naturally takes top billing, the accompanying performances from bassist Nobuyoshi Ino and drummer Steve Jackson (best known for appearing on one of Chick Correa's most celebrated albums) are equally as impressive. As a result, "Primrose" is a near perfect jazz album. - Juno
