Yumi Ito's new album "Ysla" is out now. Yumi Ito weaves into her music stories about society – stories about worlds, regardless of how large or small, or bright or dark they might be. Her sound is equally diverse, presenting itself as an amalgam of several styles. What might seem tricky, really isn’t: the musician, composer, producer and arranger with Japanese and Polish roots expertly navigates a clear stylistic path, based on hundreds of hours of practice. Like a Zen master she observes, classifies and writes down events from a distance – precise, concentrated and wise. Yumi Ito lives performs regularly all around the world and has shared the stage with artists such as Al Jarreau, Szymon Mika and Nils Petter Molvaer. Her own art includes jazz, art-pop, electronica, free improvisation and neo-classical music, flexibly performable from solo, in her trio or orchestra, while - of course - always telling a story.
