2025 reissue - Led by guitarist Seiji Hano, the jazz group Om released only one album -- Solar Wind, a landmark work that stands as one of the greatest achievements in Japanese ethnic jazz. Now, this masterpiece is finally being reissued. Their sound, seemingly a response from Japan to ECM artists such as Oregon and Codona, active during the same period, is refined yet imbued with a distinctly Japanese sense of wabi-sabi -- melancholic, nostalgic, and deeply resonant. From "Windmill," featured on Studio Mule's compilation Midnight In Tokyo Vol. 2, to every other track, Solar Wind is a flawless album with not a single weak moment -- a true masterpiece of Japanese jazz.
