Well, 2022 is slipping away, and it was another great year for music. Lots of great albums, but this is one I found myself returning to.
“Father Forest” by Kyoto Jazz Sextet (2022)

The inclusion of legendary drummer Takeo Moriyama really helps this one to soar and, man, Shinpei Ruike comes out swinging on trumpet.
Maybe one day Blue Note will give us an LP version.
