This book features guitarist Inoue Mei, pianist/composer Uokame Akimi, and drummer/percussionist Ishiwaka Shun, all born in the early 1990s, who grew up surrounded by a wide variety of music and are active across genres and borders. The three musicians, who are set up like jazz concerts, hold talks in three sets aimed at “people who want to go to concerts,” “people who want to play jazz,” and “people who want to dig up recordings.”
A summary of the session contents.

Performing on stage in various locations every day and constantly creating new music, the three musicians will use their unique sensibilities to talk about the appeal of jazz and advice on how to enjoy it casually and deeply.
