The pair have released a couple nearly impossible to find discs such as Live In Japan 1982 (Improvised Company, 1999) and Live In Okayama 1987 (Improvised ...

Yuji Takahashi / Sabu Toyozumi: The Quietly Clouds And A Wild Crane

Read "The Quietly Clouds And A Wild Crane" reviewed by John Sharpe


Unlike most drum and piano duets, where the keyboard gets all the best lines, Sabu Toyozumi and Yuji Takahashi craft a truly egalitarian meeting of minds on The Quietly Clouds And A Wild Crane. Recorded in 1998, it represents another bulletin from the vital Japanese free scene of the period issued by the Lithuanian NoBusiness imprint ...

Fire! Orchestra: Echoes

Read "Echoes" reviewed by Chris May
