His latest and first album since his "comeback" in 2002. This is also a debut album of his "Nippon Soul Jazz Band" he formed with his intimate friends in 2004. Backed by Akemi Ohta's beautiful and amazing flute performances and Takayuki Koizumi's "singing" drumming, Sekine seems to enjoy playing the music. With all selection written by Sekine himself with his love for jazz, except Herbie Hancock's "Just Around the Corner" and Japanese traditional "Hietsuki Song," you will find all the music here full of joy and happiness. If you get interested in Sekine's music through "Stop Over" or "Strode Road" album, this disc is a must-buy.
