I love it! Thanks!
ReplyDeleteThe new Itaru Oki is great - it's a duet with French bass player Benjamin Duboc. Much sparer than this, as might be expected. It's available at this site for a good price and is highly recommended - http://www.improvising-beings.com/#contact
ReplyDeleteThanks for Shirasagi!

@Alcofribas - what?
ReplyDeleteItaru lives in Paris and plays dates here several times a year. If you're a serious Parisian free jazz fan you've met him.

When I said "next time I see Itaru" I didn't know it would probably be next Saturday.
