Everything about Yumi Ito’s new LP titled Stardust Crystals is absolutely audacious! It’s a big band record, which she wrote and arranged for an 11-piece outfit.

The material traverses neo-classical, art-pop, references progressive electronica and gives a singular twist to a classical jazz sound. And then there’s the choice of topics: stories about the highs and lows of life, each one like a an intimate entry snatched from the pages of a diary.

The final material was recorded in 2018, at the Hardstudios Winterthur, in cooperation with Swiss Radio SRF Kultur 2 and will be available on all relevant platforms in November 2020.

Yumi Ito is a Japanese-Polish vocalist, songwriter, producer and arranger based in Basel, Switzerland. She performs regularly all around the world and has shared the stage with artists such as Al Jarreau, Becca Stevens, Nils Petter Molvaer and Mark Turner.
