Get ready for the absolute bang that is ‘Sugii’, the new single from Dutch alto sax virtuoso Benjamin Herman, that pays homage to the legendary Japanese composer, accordionist, bandleader and jazz pioneer Koichi Sugii. A daring track, oozing energy and groove, ‘Sugii’ blends the raw and underground energy of Tokyo’s jazz scene with futuristic sounds. Recorded in Tokyo’s legendary Studio Dede last April, ‘Sugii’ is the first taste of The Tokyo Sessions, Herman’s forthcoming album, set for release in March 2026 through P-Vine Records (Japan) and Roach Records / Dox Records. Whilst we wait for more details to emerge, here’s ‘Sugii’. Play it loud!
