Huge tip! We present you a very special and limited edition 5-LP box - a piece of Otomo Yoshihide’s New Jazz Quintet European tour in January-February 2024. In this box you will find recordings from the band's only concerts in Poland at Pardon, To Tu in Warsaw and at NOSPR in Katowice. The recordings have been meticulously mixed and mastered for the best sound quality for you to enjoy. Otomo Yoshihide’s New Jazz Quintet visited Poland for the very first time and it felt really important to us to keep those memories alive. Therefore we decided to release the live recordings and add analog photos from the whole tour as well as some tour memories made by the quintet’s manager Malwina Witkowska, along the way.
