"wa" represents the principle Wa (和): Harmony or unity in a traditional Japanese tea ceremony. The peaceful piano melody of “wa” is met with some of the most expressive bass work Johnson has recorded—muted runs blend with strings to explore harmony. The track would be perfect for anyone's individual coffee or tea ceremony in the morning.
For many, the ECM- and Windham Hill-influenced, neo-classically inflected jazz of airport people’s from nine mornings became an essential part of their morning ritual. On wa kei sei jaku, Johnson takes that morning tea ritual in a more intentional and explicit direction.
