Few words from Katsura Yamuchi ahead of the concert of the 15th september:

"It's the first time for me to play in England. Some of my Japanese friends told me "Oto is very nice place and fits for Salmosax." Now, it is realized by many helps, I appreciate it. Salmosax is a kind of musical exploration, it connect ancient time to today using my memories of body (DNA), air, place, audiences, sounds, etc. As a result Salmosax express future too. I mean I don't know my music. Is it like Zen?　I don't know."

Next gig (15/09) is going to be a cheerful mix, clearly going against my natural tendency to try and make sense in the selection of acts. Quite enjoyable really. o.

Just few words to lay an imprint here of the visit of Alex Mendizabal.
What a great presence, charming and uplifting, always rubbing his emotions against his environment and happy to share his perception with others. A refreshing change from the jaded, rigid and self-defeated old improv crowd. o.
