Yelena Eckemoff’s latest work is a gorgeous 2-disc set. Yelena Eckemoff is a pianist from Russia who continues to release top-notch works. In addition to Masaru Koga, a Japanese multi-lead player based in San Francisco, this latest work also features cornetist Kirk Knuffke, bassist Ben Street, and drummer and percussionist Eric Harland. It seems that Masaru Koga, who can play the shakuhachi, was called to express the fish that appears in the title, but the concept of this album is also interesting. The sound of Yelena Ekemoff’s piano and Fender Rhodes is also wonderful. Includes 14 tracks in 2 discs. It is finished as a gorgeous work with a 32-page booklet. [Yelena Eckemoff’s ‘three wishes’ are featured in the opening feature.]
