Graceful Metaphors

by Liverwort Lab

supported by

krotix Jazz that has it's feet dipping into modern freeform, which may alienate those into pure bop, it will certaonly not appeal to smooth jazz background listeners.

this combo has chops and is not simply background grooves. Favorite track: Graceful Metaphors mv.1 act tune "Arc" for Trumpet.

about

Japan-Based composer-bandleader Naoto Tomokane and his innovative 15-piece ensemble Liverwort Lab release their first album 2018.

This Orchestra with the theme of "Various moss growing in the rock" composed young musicians active in a wide range of fields, Classic, Jazz, Rock.

Started live activity in 2013 with the formation of flute, clarinet and bassoon added to the conventional ensemble. In order to pursue a more original sound, newly added marching baritone, an opera singer, it is now transformed into a very special Jazz Orchestra. Music is based on Jazz, it is full of graphic music and contemporary music, it is full of colorful feeling like painting, and recalls movie music.
