About

Set within a swinging rhythmic framework, the 16-bar 16-Bar form and the key of B♭, the solo navigates the chord changes with purpose. Positioned between Josh Nelson and Jun Iida, Kuroki bridges the conversation between the two.

The groove sits in a comfortable medium-up zone, encouraging flowing melodic invention.
