Ayumi Tanaka, Thomas Morgan, Thomas Strønen: Windflower | Out Now

“Windflower”, the new album by pianist Ayumi Tanaka, bassist Thomas Morgan and Thomas Strønen on drums, is out now. The three musicians found an immediate rapport on playing together for the first time at Oslo’s Nasjonal Jazz Scene Victoria in September 2024 and then, at producer Manfred Eicher’s suggestion, followed up with this recording, captured at Studios La Buissonne in the South of France in May 2025. The album features eight luminous free ballads plus Ayumi’s composition “La Source”.
