The album moves through the high-energy title track, \"Formation,\" the jazz-rock vibes of \"Unlucky Guy,\" and wraps up with another Shorter piece, \"Chief Crazy Horse.\" It's a diverse yet cohesive collection, offering a polished snapshot of Japan’s \"new mainstream\" jazz.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTRACKLIST \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFootprints\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNaughty Doggie\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLast Train To Clarksville\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFormation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHow Deep Is The Ocean\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUnlucky Guy\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChief Crazy Horse\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003eLISTEN\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eAvailable on Desktop \u0026amp; Mobile\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Shungo Sawada Quintet","offers":[{"title":"LP \/ Black","offer_id":43606473998527,"sku":"NJS-799-BK","price":59.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0620\/6947\/3471\/files\/NJS799_ShungoSawada_Formation_CoverArt_Obi_974x_907f0956-b65c-4435-9967-d899b58b21cf.jpg?v=1723506888"}],"url":"https:\/\/helixsounds.com\/collections\/artist-shungo-sawada-quintet.oembed","provider":"Helix Sounds","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
