Background

"Under the Same Moon" was originally composed when Miho Hazama was around twenty years old. When Miho was introduced from Gil Goldstein about his video of accordion quartet via email, she noticed and felt similarity. Then she decided to rearrange "Under the Same Moon" for Gil and m_unit, her bigband. Gil was invited as a guest player.

In the title track "Time River", another guest, Joshua Redman is playing.

At the end of this album, a track of American rock supergroup A Perfect Circle, "Magdalena", is included. Miho Hazama had been playing tracks of A Perfect Circle in her cover band, when she was a senior high school student, and her favorite track was "The Hollow" in album Mer de Noms . She had been decided to conclude this album Time River by bright tone track "Magdalena" from Mer de Noms, after long journey of minor tracks. [6]
