Masaru Imada

Carnival is an underrated gem of Japanese jazz fusion, combining sophistication, emotional warmth, and rhythmic finesse. It’s a perfect entry point for newcomers to Imada’s work and a must-hear for fans of artists like Sadao Watanabe, Casiopea, or Chick Corea’s lighter moments.

Whether you’re lounging on a terrace or daydreaming on a rainy afternoon, Carnival delivers just what its name promises—a vibrant escape.
