Shigetaka Ikemoto - Shared Lines (2026) Hi-Res

Shigetaka Ikemoto and Kazuhiro Takemoto—two brilliant young talents at the heart of the Japanese jazz scene—come together in the rare format of a trombone and piano duo to explore classic jazz standards. This recording offers a deep, immersive experience of the rich, warm tone of Ikemoto’s trombone and the profound expressiveness of Takemoto’s piano. It is perhaps a rare work in which the sound of the trombone is captured with such vivid, lifelike immediacy.
