Recorded during Shaw's tour of Japan, Tokyo '81 showcases his virtuosic trumpet playing and innovative compositions. Backed by an exceptional band featuring saxophonist Carter Jefferson, pianist Mulgrew Miller, bassist Stafford James, and drummer Tony Reedus, Shaw delivers a captivating performance that highlights his technical prowess and musical creativity.

Shaw's original compositions make up the majority of the album, with each track offering a unique blend of melodic beauty and harmonic complexity. From the hauntingly beautiful ballad "The Dragon" to the fiery Latin-infused "Stepping Stone," Tokyo '81 demonstrates Shaw's versatility as both a composer and performer.

In addition to his own compositions, Shaw also pays tribute to jazz standards with his soulful rendition of Duke Ellington's "In a Sentimental Mood." His interpretation of this classic tune showcases his ability to infuse familiar melodies with his own unique style and improvisational flair.

Overall, Tokyo '81 is a must-have for any fan of Woody Shaw or jazz music in general. With its exceptional musicianship and captivating performances, this album captures the essence of Shaw's artistry and serves as a testament to his enduring legacy in the world of jazz.
