Starting with his 2014 big label debut ‘Rising Son,’ Takuya Kuroda preserved the integrity of jazz as he stretches far beyond its tradition to make it embraceable for newer generations.

With ‘Midnight Crisp,’ trumpet ace Takuya Kuroda once again creates music that makes new converts to jazz from the young and gives long-time jazzheads a fresh new perspective on an old genre.

Takuya Kuroda already located the sweet spot where funk, jazz, hip-hop and R&B intersect. Now he’s amping up the studio creativity with ‘Fly Moon Die Soon.’
