USA/JAPAN: Imaginably by Utopia

 


Imaginably by Utopia

Utopia consists of two Japanese musicians, who happen to share the same first name (Yuto). They seeked inspiration in the music of Paul Motian Trio, together with staying focused on listening to the momentum of each other’s performance, and improvising freely along with the flow of the melody. Their album repertoire was formed while performing gigs in NYC and touring in Japan where they played music for audiences who love all genres of music. Utopia’s intention on this album was to introduce jazz and improvisation to a broader audience with the familiar melodies and cultural music. Yuto Mitomi plays tenor and soprano sax and Yuto Kanazawa plays Brazilian 7string guitar on this album.
