A highly anticipated duo project by Naoshi Takeuchi and the veteran pianist Hideo Ichikawa. Focusing on slow to medium tempos, the two weave a musical space that is at once expansive, delicate, and deeply resonant. Alongside American standards, the album also features works by Michel Petrucciani and Fred Hersch. In Coltrane’s Dear Lord, a heartfelt sense of prayer overflows.
