Awesome indeed. Thanks.

Awesome vibraphone solo on 3. Otomo quoting Coleman as well!

I saw OYNJE in London a few years ago. Very good live band, I'm glad this recording managed to get Sachiko's sounds, I'd imagine a lower-quality recording would miss it entirely.

fucking awesome. THANKS

"Orange was the color of her dress" and "Hat and beard" were performed at Salle Jacques Brell in France on March 15, 2005. The turntable improvisation was on June 20, 2005 at Kid Ailiack Hall in Tokyo, Japan; and that beautiful guitar piece ("Theme from Canary") was performed on June 19, 2005 at Shinjuku Pit Inn in Tokyo, Japan.

"Eureka" was performed by The New Jazz Ensemble as well, and there are included bits of interviews with Otomo Yoshihide. Great stuff.

The DVD is still up at the traders' den. There are a bunch of seeders now so anybody interested in having this shouldn't have any problems to download it.

ooooh, thanks.

i saw otomo twice two years ago.

the first time was a guitar duo with fred frith, calm as fuck but amazing nonetheless.

the second time, he played with his turntables making noise and feedback, then he picked up a guitar and played ornette's "lonely woman" all by himself, mind-fucking-blowing.

Otomo's score for Out to Lunch. I have a few more of these if anyone is interested.

Otomo Yoshihide's New Jazz Ensemble
Italy 2006 [no label, 2CD]
Live at the Festival d'Autunno, Teatro Cavallerizza, Reggio Emilia, Italy; November 10, 2006.

I've been invited to go for dinner with him after his gig on the 8th of December by a Japanese friend of mine. DOES IT GET COOLER THAN THIS BITCHES??
Although I'm also really nervous because he's in my top 10 of geniuses making music today.

Holy shit. I bow before thee, Genteel.

Actually fuck it - if I send you a CD, would you pass it on to him?

Do you think he'll have a translator, or do you think he speaks decent English?

Good question. My friend speaks English because he lives here, so it shouldn't be a problem.

Do you still have my address?

Not sure - could you re-send it?
