Sam Wilkes- iiyo iiyo iiyo

For two nights in Japan, L.A. jazz bassist Sam Wilkes brought together a quintet that played like old friends locked in a wordless, spontaneous dialogue. On iiyo iiyo iiyo, his compositions curl and coil with an intricate grace, unfolding into a unscripted medley where each note feels both carefully finessed and entirely unexpected; a spellbinding spectacle.
