The album concept  Tomonao Hara

 

"A Story of Wind and Clouds" is "a collection of music whose title has a deep meaning". The thought contained in the lyrics of the 10th music "Umi No Uta" is  a symbol of the image that all music on the album has.

"Umi No Uta" Lyrics by Tomonao Hara

The sea is a message from ancient times

 

 I have taken in and deepened the thoughts and feelings of intellectuals and sages that I have come into contact with through the books I have read, the movies I have seen, and the Internet.

 

This time, I composed an several titles based on them, and I expanded the image of the title with my musical imagination and connected it to the composition. This music will further expand the world through jazz improvisation, and will eventually descend into the sensibilities of the listeners...with that in mind, 

This is the group's third album. In the recording, the individuality of each musician became more prominent in the performance, and the "stories" told by each storyteller (musicians) collaborated and eventually created a big flow, building a magnificent world.
