Description:

A year has passed since the debut album "THINKKAISM" was released, which attracted a lot of attention as a young genius with a strong personality. One year after his debut album "THINKKAISM," which was the talk of the town, saxophonist Qi Matsumaru has been making further progress by participating in a number of high-profile projects, including SMTK led by Shun Ishiwaka, which released an EP and its first album in 2020. His latest work is a saxophone quartet formation of the royal road. Backed by the piano trio "BOYS," with whom Hideaki Kanazawa, Akira Ishii, and Shun Ishiwaka have worked together for more than 10 years, this free and melodic work explores the possibilities created in the space between composition and improvisation.
