沖野修也の新プロジェクトは、平戸祐介（quasimode）や類家心平ら名うてのプレイヤーと共に、60年代のブルー・ノート作品を現代的なセンスで再解釈する本格派セクステットに。基本は一発録音のストレートなモード・ジャズなれど、例えばハービー・ハンコック“Succotash”に備わるミニマル感にセオ・パリッシュの影が見えたり。Kyoto Jazz Massiveの代表曲“Eclipse”のカヴァーを含む2曲に菊地成孔がサックスで参加。
[English Translation]
Shuya Okino's new project is an authentic sextet involving such players as Yusuke Hirado (quasimode) and Shinpei Ruike. They reinterpret Blue Note works from the 1960s with a modern sensibility. The foundation of the music is straight, modal jazz recorded in one take. One can see the minimalism of Herbie Hancock's "Succotash" as well as the shadows of Theo Parish. Naruyoshi Kikuchi, the jazz musician/saxophonist/singer, plays saxophone on two songs, including a cover of Kyoto Jazz Massive's big hit, "Eclipse".
