Description
From Tokyo to Glasgow, through London, Vilnius, Rio de Janeiro, all the way to Bratislava - that's one way to describe the jazz-rock journey of the international ensemble Ari Tsugi. Having performed at several European festivals including the prestigious Glastonbury, and gaining support from respected BBC 6 Music, the band is preparing to release their new album on October 24, 2025.
Ari Tsugi weaves a tapestry of sound, blending the improvisational spirit of jazz, the swirling colors of psychedelic rock, and the vibrant rhythms of Brazilian music. This truly international collective unites musicians from France, Scotland, England, Lithuania, Hungary, and Slovakia/Japan. At the heart of their sound is lead vocalist Alma Rechtman, a rising star on the French music scene. Alongside her are Mashu Harada, Clement Gaud, Joe Weisberg, Mischa Stevens and Angus Macdonald, each contributing their unique voice to the group's rich musical dialogue.
The Brick Lane Jazz Festival describes their performances as warm, kind, and radiating a deep love for music. The band recently played 14 shows at Glastonbury 2025 and earned support from BBC 6 Music's Deb Grant and Jazz FM's Robbie Vincent.
Their forthcoming album, Ryto Vejas ir Menulis (Lithuanian for Morning Wind and Moon), reflects on the ever-shifting balance between connection and separation that defines the human experience - from falling in love and breaking apart, to family dissolution and reconciliation, and even the broader forces of war and peace. The record was captured in a single live take during a residency in Glasgow under the direction of Lithuanian producer Vilo Jokubaitis, and is set for release on a 140g solid red vinyl via Slnko Records on October 24, 2025.
