about

Trumpeter Jun Iida’s warm, inviting tone, astute composition choices and his sublime sense of melody lead the way on his debut recording. After spending 5 years in Los Angeles and 3 in Seattle, Evergreen memorializes the musical focus and development that transpired over those years, as he moves on to new adventures in New York. Recorded in Los Angeles, Jun brought together L.A. friends Josh Nelson on piano, guitarist Masami Kuroki and bassist Jonathan Richards, along with the dynamic Seattle drummer Xavier Lecouturier. New York vocalist Aubrey Johnson brilliantly adds to Jun’s soaring melodies with her often wordless vocals, and sings in Japanese on a song from Jun’s childhood, “Akatombo,” and the J-pop anime song “Shiki no Uta,” both in a nod to Jun’s family heritage. Between the swinging “Gooey Butter Cake” and “Bellarosa,” to the haunting “Theme from Spartacus,” or the spacious title track, Jun shares a sparkling and compelling message that’s sure to resonate.

This album captivated me quickly. The listener can hear the high energy of New York through their instrumentation and I love It! One example of this I throughly enjoy is their implementation of accelerando (speeding up the tempo) throughout songs. If you enjoy contemporary jazz this album is worth your attention. Wes Wood
