Sachi Hayasaka & Stir Up!

*2026 stock* This album is the second release by saxophonist Sachi Hayasaka, following her debut album Free Fight. Most of the music was recorded in Tokyo with members of Stir Up!, capturing the raw energy and spirit of the group. Two additional tracks were recorded in New York at Baby Monster Studio, featuring special guest trumpeter Wadada Leo Smith. These sessions added another dimension to the album, making it an especially rich and memorable work.

The album was produced entirely by Sachi and Toshiki. It was later released by the Japanese jazz label Three Blind Mice. Over the years, however, the rights have changed hands several times without any communication with the artist. As this is her own work—and the rights belong to her—Sachi has decided to make the music available here.
