Mai Sugimoto—alto saxophone and flute
Joshua Abrams—bass
Isaiah Spencer—drums
"The trio manages to channel something ineffable in the recording situation, letting feel and groove take over. This is community music that is more about connection than virtuosity—which is surely present, but never ostentatiously so. . . . It conveys that singular joy of good improvised music, when it’s not about ripping solos but group unity. Naturally, I’m advising you all to pay close attention to Sugimoto from here on out."
—from Peter Margasak, a long-time music journalist who has also programmed the weekly Frequency Series at Constellation in Chicago since 2013, on the trio’s Sunlight Filtering Through Leaves (Asian Improv Records, 2024)
