Track six, “Starry Eyes,” is explicitly dedicated to STAR★EYES, where Mizuno’s Trio with Strings plays August 17.\n\nThis is not a studio-cast replica. Strings appear on six of the album’s 13 tracks, and all four touring string chairs change. Mizuno, bassist Yoshimasa Otsuka and drummer Hayato Yamazaki remain at the center; Yumi Kou, Saya Matsuki, Yoriko Sobue and Kaya Kubota become the live quartet.\n\nDoors 6 p.m. · Music 7 p.m. · ¥5,000, plus food, drink and ¥500 table charge. No set list has been announced, so “Starry Eyes” is context—not a repertoire promise.\n\nRead the full feature, source trail and three official big-band listening paths:\njazzdatebook.com/featured-shows/shuhei-mizuno-trio-with-strings-nagoya-2026","hashtags":["#ShuheiMizuno","#NagoyaJazz","#StarEyesNagoya","#JazzWithStrings","#JapaneseJazz"],"mentions":[{"role":"artist","name":"Shuhei Mizuno","handle":"@shuhei_mizuno_big_band","verifiedBySourceId":"instagram-mizuno"},{"role":"artist","name":"Yoshimasa Otsuka","handle":"@yoshimasaotsuka","verifiedBySourceId":"instagram-otsuka"},{"role":"artist","name":"Hayato Yamazaki","handle":"@hayatodr","verifiedBySourceId":"instagram-hayato"},{"role":"artist","name":"Yumi Kou","handle":"@kouyumiyumi1","verifiedBySourceId":"instagram-yumi"},{"role":"artist","name":"Yoriko Sobue","handle":"@yoriva62","verifiedBySourceId":"instagram-yoriko"},{"role":"artist","name":"Kaya Kubota","handle":"@kayals.cellist","verifiedBySourceId":"instagram-kaya"}],"slides":[{"order":1,"url":"https://jazzdatebook.com/featured-shows/shuhei-mizuno-trio-with-strings-nagoya-2026/social/01.jpg","alt":"Cover slide with original Open Ear Media artwork: 13 track cells, six illuminated string-arrangement marks, a central piano trio, four bowed-string lines and an abstract STAR★EYES marker beneath the words ‘The room inside a song.’","sha256":"41cb84d308470d0f9a0e7f3e13c9666bb2ab94297b63fccf04af9cac25b82088"},{"order":2,"url":"https://jazzdatebook.com/featured-shows/shuhei-mizuno-trio-with-strings-nagoya-2026/social/02.jpg","alt":"Structure slide explaining that the album has 13 tracks, uses strings on six, was recorded in one day, and transfers every studio string chair to a different touring player.","sha256":"44cce9335fe3748458163baa6007daf31ab2b4871479d6e249cee07aedf51039"},{"order":3,"url":"https://jazzdatebook.com/featured-shows/shuhei-mizuno-trio-with-strings-nagoya-2026/social/03.jpg","alt":"Event slide for August 17, 2026 at STAR★EYES in Nagoya, listing Shuhei Mizuno, Yoshimasa Otsuka, Hayato Yamazaki, Yumi Kou, Saya Matsuki, Yoriko Sobue and Kaya Kubota with their instruments.","sha256":"06fe4ee9df6a73eff308cd6d84ea0c6079e54cb45c674a499189ac7615b71b6a"},{"order":4,"url":"https://jazzdatebook.com/featured-shows/shuhei-mizuno-trio-with-strings-nagoya-2026/social/04.jpg","alt":"Verified-account slide listing Shuhei Mizuno Big Band, Yoshimasa Otsuka, Hayato Yamazaki, Yumi Kou, Yoriko Sobue and Kaya Kubota, with original artwork credited to Open Ear Media.","sha256":"6480f69aa357befb8f8e8f6fa83c58c22676231d30799c179fa91c513bbfd854"}],"contactSheetUrl":"https://jazzdatebook.com/featured-shows/shuhei-mizuno-trio-with-strings-nagoya-2026/social/contact-sheet.jpg","altText":"Four-slide Jazz DateBook carousel about Shuhei Mizuno Trio with Strings at STAR★EYES: an original 13-track and seven-player diagram; the album-to-tour personnel change; the complete Nagoya lineup and practical details; and verified artist handles with Open Ear Media artwork credit.","automaticPostingAllowed":false}
