Toku? Imagine the deep, clear voice of a true crooner: inimitable, never forced. As relaxed as a stroll through Paris, his wide vocal range sways as gently as a boat cruising down the Seine. For those who aren?t familiar with the name, Toku has been considered a great musician in the Land of the Rising Sun for over 20 years. Luckily for us, he?s able to escape to Paris from time to time. When playing, most often on the flugelhorn but also on the trumpet, Toku has a very unique sound. A sound filled with tenderness and a kind of placid strength. On this recording, Toku invites us to take a poetic stroll through his Paris.
