Throughout the album however, the Austrian guitarist and his American cohorts turn the spotlight towards Wolfgang’s captivating originals, touching on balladic lyricism (“Pradela”, “Traversia”), subtle folk infusions (“Strumming”, “Flight”), as well as oblique chamber jazz (“Weill You Wait”) and twangy rock and roll (“Roll”). As has become custom, Wolfgang alternates between acoustic and electric guitars fluently and in equal measures, framing his soft touch and fluid lines in a programme that seems to encompass the entirety of the broad idiomatic scope he has unravelled over the past decades. By closing with a shrewd take on Paul Motian’s “Abacus”, Muthspiel bookends the album with implications of a large chunk of both the jazz and ECM history. The record is named after the Japanese capital, where all of the trio’s ECM dates were captured. Tokyo was recorded in October 2024, then mixed in Munich in February 2025 and produced by Manfred Eicher.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTracklist:\u003cbr\u003e1 Lisbon Stomp (Keith Jarrett) 05:17\u003cbr\u003e2 Pradela (Wolfgang Muthspiel) 06:50\u003cbr\u003e3 Flight (Wolfgang Muthspiel) 07:37\u003cbr\u003e4 Roll (Wolfgang Muthspiel) 02:30\u003cbr\u003e5 Christa's Dream (Wolfgang Muthspiel) 03:49\u003cbr\u003e6 Diminished and Augmented (Wolfgang Muthspiel) 04:42\u003cbr\u003e7 Traversia (Wolfgang Muthspiel) 05:35\u003cbr\u003e8 Strumming (Wolfgang Muthspiel) 07:23\u003cbr\u003e9 Weill You Wait (Wolfgang Muthspiel) 05:46\u003cbr\u003e10 Abacus (Paul Motian) 06:27\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Scott Colley, Brian Blade Wolfgang Muthspiel","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47320768250073,"sku":"602478676758","price":40.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0586\/0468\/3425\/files\/602478676758.jpg?v=1758569890","url":"https:\/\/drownedworldrecords.com\/en-ca\/products\/tokyo-lp-import","provider":"Drowned World Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
