What's it about?

USA, JapanDarius Jones - alto saxophoneOtomo Yoshihide - guitarNick Dunston - double bassGerald Cleaver - drumsYasuhiro Yoshigaki drumsAlto saxophonist Darius Jones from Norfolk/Brooklyn and guitarist Otomo Yoshihide from Yokohama/Fukushima bridge the distance of 11,000 kilometers and 20 years at this premiere. The Man 'ish e 'Boi, who sees his music as a "confrontation against apathy and ego ", brings his long-time drummer Gerald Cleaver, while the noise-affine "politician of musical powerlessness " brings his former "Ground Zero " bandmate, jazz drummer Yasuhiro Yoshigaki. Bassist Nick Dunston completes this quintet, which thrives on the superpower of surprise, in the spirit of Sun Ra, where "only the impossible happens ".
