Special Improvisation Night with "Hikanayo"
*Reservations (priority entrance at the time of opening) will be accepted from 11:00 AM on May 1 (fri) by phone (03-3354-2024), at the reception desk of Pit Inn Shinjuku, or through the online ticket reservation form for each performance date on our website.
Reservations will be accepted until the day before the event.
The first day features iKERBDB. This is a group that has been exploring Ornette Coleman-esque polyrhythms and Shannon Jackson-style groove music.
The second day is an evening of improvisation with Masahiko Satoh, a tradition we’ve been continuing for the past few years. This time, however, I’m thinking of experimenting with various combinations, centering on Junji Hirose’s new unit, “Hikanyo,” which launched earlier this year.
Day 3 marks the debut of a new band featuring saxophonist Motoharu and bassist Iwami. This is the launch of a new saxophone trio that emerged from MoGoToYoYo, whose activities had come to a halt due to the pandemic. Keep an eye out for guest artist Yusei Takahashi, who makes full use of electronics as well as the piano. I’m excited to see where this goes.
Continuing from last year, Yoshigaki-Hosomi-Iga-Yoshida will be joined by Tokutaro Hosoi, who performs with them in Plays Carla Bley. It’s sure to be a fiery set.
On the final day, a large ensemble aiming to bring jazz to the Third World will take the stage. Come witness our tribute to Great Black Music, as exemplified by AEOC and Brass Fantasy.
We look forward to seeing you there.
