A first-ever pairing of Japanese jazz giants Akira Sakata and Masahiko Satoh with the Chikamorachi duo of Darin Gray and Chris Corsano facilitating. Sakata is on alto and clarinet (and vox), Satoh on piano, Gray on up right bass and percussion and Corsano thrashing the kit, sounding 72 feet tall here. Just a monster session, swinging between deep-listening improv and all-out aggression. Beauty. Somehow I missed the joint Family Vineyard put out with Sakata, Chikamorachi, Jim O'Rourke and Merzbow, I'll have to right that wrong. But meanwhile - this set is HEAVY.
