Tragically serving as the final release before his sudden passing, the beloved Japanese jazz pianist recorded this immaculate live set at his own renowned club in Sapporo. The album beautifully revisits original compositions from his internet-famous 1976 debut 'Scenery', displaying a profound, lifetime maturation in his swinging, bop-inflected style.
