DISCOGRAPHY

■Catchphrase
This is not a short essay—it’s a full-length work.
A story that can only come to life when you believe in your own senses, in the time you’ve devoted to them, and in jazz itself.
—Kazuhide Motooka (Pianist, Manager of Nica’s)
■Product Description
A quarter of a century has passed since his debut as a leader. Throughout, alto saxophonist Atsushi Ikeda has remained steadfast in his pursuit of jazz, building a career rooted in sincerity and perseverance. From unaccompanied solo performances to various combos and big bands, and spanning a wide range of styles from bebop to free jazz, Ikeda is known for his flexible and expansive approach.
This album represents his vision of what true jazz should be—an authentic jazz album through and through. It is the culmination of five years of work with trusted collaborators, featuring 11 original compositions.
