  4. The 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

    Thanks for Shirasagi!

  13. Itaru lives in Paris and plays dates here several times a year. If you're a serious Parisian free jazz fan you've met him.

    Don't worry Ernst, I'd be very surprised if Itaru objects to your upload.

    Although I know that Sensei Oki lives in Paris I haden't yet the opportunity to see/hear him live.
    Greetings to Itaru Oki from a German admirer of his music.
