A monumental work of world-class big band jazz from Japan.
A masterpiece by Akiyoshi Toshiko that combines overwhelming scale with meticulous arrangement.
This is the pinnacle of jazz pianist Toshiko Akiyoshi's American career. This work, performed with her husband Lew Tabackin and his band, beautifully blends Eastern melodic beauty with the powerful groove of modern jazz. The title track, "March of the Tadpoles," was highly praised worldwide for its fantastical and dramatic development. This is a historic album that earned a Japanese artist fame in her home country.
