  • "Rising Son' was first released on the seminal Blue Note Records imprint 10 years ago in 2014, with Takuya Kuroda being the first Japanese artist to sign to the label. The record received widespread critical acclaim, hitting No. 1 on Japan's jazz charts at the time, with original copies now fetching hundreds of pounds on Discogs and the like. There has long been high demand for a re-press of this album, and we're very pleased to say it's finally here, a decade on. Takuya Kuroda is a Kobe-born, Brooklyn-based trumpeter and musician, who was also a longtime player for Akoya Afrobeat as well as DJ Premier's BADDER band. Initially playing on the Japanese circuit with his trombonist brother, Takuya went on to relocate to New York City, where he has largely remained to this day, becoming a prominent player in the jazz scene there. The original album featured several Roy Ayers covers, including the all-time classic 'Everybody Loves The Sunshine', and this 2024 pressing also includes a brand new remix of the track from keys player & producer, Joe Armon-Jones" - First Word

    • first time on vinyl in 10 years, includes bonus track 'Everybody Loves The Sunshine (Joe Armon-Jones Remix)'
    • black double vinyl pressing
    • gatefold sleeve
    • original release year: 2014
