Frames is Miho Hazama's fourth release on Edition Records, reinforcing her standing as a composer and conductor of international recognition.
Based in New York, Hazama has built a career defined by detailed large- ensemble writing, long-range musical thinking, and vividly articulated orchestration. Her work spans through Japan, Europe and the US, with projects for the Norwegian Radio Orchestra, BBC Concert Orchestra, the Danish Radio Big Band, and Metropole Orkest. With her BBC Proms debut confirmed for 2025, her compositional voice continues to expand in scale and authority, qualities clearly evident throughout Frames.
The album returns her to close collaboration with the Danish Radio Big Band, echoing the creative relationship first established on her Edition debut Imaginary Visions (2021). On Frames , Hazama engages directly with the band's history, drawing inspiration from the musical directors who have shaped its identity over decades - Ib Glindemann, Ray Pitts, Palle Mikkelborg, Thad Jones, Ole Kock Hansen, Bob Brookmeyer, and Jim McNeely, whose recent passing adds quiet weight to the project. It's their influences that Hazama uses to frame her own compositions. The result is a body of work grounded in legacy yet unmistakably Hazama's own: composed with clarity, confidence, and an internationally grounded perspective.
Available on textured gold vinyl and digipak CD editions.
