A reissue of "The Thing", an ambitious work recorded by Isao Suzuki, one of the leading bassists in the Japanese jazz scene, together with a group of promising young musicians, has been confirmed.

This striking and thought-provoking album, born from the encounter between a towering jazz personality and youthful sensibilities, captures the direction of Japanese jazz in the 1980s. It will be reissued as the fourth release in the "Spin This Now!" series.
