Description:

Legendary player Hidefumi Toki, who has worked with various players including Terumasa Hino and made his name as a backing member of Tatsuro Yamashita in the pop music field, will release a new album on the new Days of Delight label. In line with the label's policy of "learning from the past," the album features a splendid lineup of musicians including Hikari Ichihara (tp, flh), Mayuko Katakura (p), and veteran players Yasuhiko 'Hachi' Sato (b) and Shingo Okudaira (ds), who are all top players in their fields today. You can enjoy "Hidefumi Toki in 2018" which is not just a nostalgic melody. The recording was engineered by Tetsushi Shiota, who is not only a bass player but also a producer for Bei Xu, Karen Aoki, Jazzin' R&B, and many others, and beautifully recreates the miracle sound of Japanese jazz from the early 1970s.
