For over six decades, Masabumi Kikuchi has been a pivotal figure in the jazz world, merging traditional elements with innovative electronic sounds. “Mind” is a resurrection of his earlier work initially branded under "Six Elements = Earth, Water, Fire, Wind, and Mind," which has been meticulously remastered by the acclaimed Taylor Deupree. Kikuchi's music has always been a light of will amid the chaos of life, capturing reflections of the emotional landscapes and the lightly sketched contours of existence. “Mind” invites listeners to embark on a transformative journey, seamlessly blending introspection and improvisation.
