¡Kazuo Imai / Roger Turner
Description
[Machine Translation] This is a masterful performance resulting from the encounter between two masters of improvisation, Kazuo Imai of Japan and Roger Turner of the UK. Imai is a leading Japanese improviser and guitarist who studied under Masayuki Takayanagi and Takehisa Kosugi. Roger Turner is a drummer and percussionist who has been active around the world since the early 1970's. In October 2017, Roger Turner toured Japan, performing with Japanese musicians in various cities. On October 11 at Bar Ishee in Tokyo, he played with Kazuo Imai. Imai played a single gut guitar, and Turner did not build a whole drum set, but used snare drums, tom-toms, cymbals, and various other accessories, playing as a duo with live sound without electrical amplification. The variety, dynamism, and strangeness of the sound of the two musicians clashing with each other in a volume that was generally subdued to match the loudness of the gut guitars was remarkable. This album includes the first set of the day on Disc 1 (32 minutes) and the second set on Disc 2 (36 minutes).
