This truly wonderful disk is a recent random discovery - attracted by Thomas Morgan and Paul Motian names - while browsing at my trusty record shop.
It’s a nice trio (Kikuchi-san on piano, Thomas Morgan on double-bass and Paul Motian on drums), masterfully recorded as per usual high ECM’s standards and a pleasure to listen to.
This disk was Masabumi Kikuchi’s ECM debut… he sadly passed in 2015.

Yes, a lovely, enigmatic CD. The only other I have is Black Orpheus, a solo set. I think Sunrise is the more interesting of the two because of the interaction of two equally enigmatic talents -- Poo and Motian. I didn't realise (until Google told me) that he recorded with Miles Davis during the latter's years of withdrawal in the 70s, but these recordings were never released. I wonder whether anyone has heard them...?
