clxxxiii. SHINYA FUKUMORI TRIO: No Goodbye

clxxxiii. SHINYA FUKUMORI TRIO

No Goodbye (2018)
SF, drums
Matthieu Bordenave, tenor saxophone
Walter Lang, piano
(4:58)


from For 2 Akis.


Aki Kaurismäki? A great filmmaker. Wonder who #2 is.

**

Fukumori (b. 1984) studied at Berklee before returning to Europe to record this debut album.

The bassless trio has a magnificent resonance. This tune -- by pianist Lang -- is at first just Lang, then Bordernave's breathy sax, and finally Fukumori joins in.

The changes sound like an old standard, but there's nothing old or trite in this trio's imagination.

About a minute before the tune ends, everyone drops out but Lang. 

Beautiful music. And more intriguing cover art.
