O’s Notes: Hiro Honshuku plays flute and piccolo and leads Racha Fora, a Japanese, jazz-fusion band. Andre Vasconcelos (g), Harvey Wirht (canon) and Riga Ikeda (violin) are the key band members with Yuma Kido (Mint can) making a special appearance on the title track.“Happy Fire“is billed as a new kind of jazz and indeed it is. There are some almost unrecognizable arrangements of classic jazz tunes that will surprise you. The instrumentation, arrangements and pop-rock energy make it stand out.
