YUSUKE SASE "#1" CD

The first album by up-and-coming trumpeter Yusuke Sase, who also plays in Gentle Forest Jazz Band and Answer To Remember led by Shun Ishiwaka, will finally be released on CD and LP nationwide! This is an important work of pure Japanese jazz from the 1920s, in collaboration with musicians of the same generation who are active across borders!

Sase-kun did a great job. He's put out something amazing. This is a melody that is hard to come up with, or rather, impossible to come up with as a trumpet player. How can he come up with something like this and play it? The beat is difficult, but what's amazing about it is that it's so cool. The trumpet is of course amazing, but only trumpet players care about that sort of thing, right? But that doesn't matter, the work is cool and the songs are great. The choice of musicians is also great, and the band is full of talent! What generation is this? What is this! I hope many people will pick up this work and it becomes popular. Congratulations on the release. - Tabuzombie

The first album of world-famous trumpeter Yusuke Sase, who is the same age as me, has been released. I'm really happy and tearful. I went to see his band's live performance at PitInn the other day, and they played global, world-class music that reminded me of an overseas festival. This is what it means to be a leader and lead a band! It was a really cool guide. With precise, advanced, and precise technique, and a sense of power that can explode at any time. Trumpeters all over the world will be intimidated by this. It's amazing. Everyone, please buy it and listen to it! - Shun Ishiwaka

Yusuke Sase is a rising star trumpeter who is also a member of Gentle Kubota's big band "Gentle Forest Jazz Band," which is full of entertaining swing style, and "Answer To Remember," led by drummer Shun Ishiwaka, which is attracting attention from all over the current music scene. He also has a rare presence as a support musician for a wide range of artists. His first album, "#1," which is composed entirely of original songs, not only fully demonstrates his skills as a trumpet player, from sharp phrasing to powerful blowing and even glossy tone, but also fully demonstrates his talent as a composer and producer, with a thrilling and exquisitely balanced song structure that develops off-beat time signatures, and a complex structure in which each part is intertwined in multiple layers, but also an instrumental sound full of song. Each song was recorded in just one or two takes, and in one day, and the way he brilliantly brings out the skills of musicians of his generation who are active in many fields, with jazz as the core, is simply breathtaking! The nationwide distribution CD version includes two newly recorded trumpet ensemble tracks!
