secondtube Posted February 5, 2004 Report Share Posted February 5, 2004 Wow. What can i say about these guys...Just downloaded a show off sharingthegroove (the greatest thing to hit the internet) by them. Its from the 31st International New jazz Festival in Germany. taken from japan-improv website Shibusashirazu Orchestra, which is at the forefront of contemporary jazz, was formed by bassist Daisuke Fuwa in 1989 as a free jazz orchestra. The orchestra is, so to speak, a multimedia jazz performance group consisting of over twenty musicians, including many well known Japanese performers such as Hiroaki Katayama (ts) and Takeshi Shibuya (p), as well as Butoh dancers, modern dancers, theater actors, and artists. All of the works played by Shibusashirazu Orchestra are Japanese jazz works composed or arranged by Daisuke Fuwa. The orchestra gives exciting stage performances, with its dynamic sound and lively dancing and acting. Large moving objects made by stage artists make the audiences even more enthusiastic. (A twenty-meter-long dragon danced in the air over the audience in their 1998 European tour.) It can be said that Shibusashirazu Orchestra is not only a jazz orchestra but also a group that brings together various aspects of contemporary Japanese culture. Some of its performances show the course of Japanese music from the Middle Ages to the present, as the group includes musicians playing traditional Japanese instruments such as shamisen, shakuhachi, and ryuteki (a bamboo flute). Chitei Records (Japan) just issued the latest record of Tokyos one and only Shibusashirazu Orchestra. Some of you may know this fantatic collective of up to 50 musicians, dancers and acrobats with their live acts of for hours and more. Their newest record entitled 'Shibuboshi' was recorded during the Arkestras stay last summer in Japan. For tracks feature Marshall Allen, Michael Ray and Elson Nascimento. quote: Shibusashirazu Orchestra Daisuke Fuwa (1, 2, 4-8): conductor Hiroaki Katayama (1, 2, 4-8): tenor sax Tetsu Hirosawa (1, 5, 7, 8): tenor sax Yoichiro Yoshida (1, 2, 4-8): tenor sax Kunihiro Izumi (1, 4-8): alto sax Keiko Komori (1, 2, 4-8): alto sax Hideki Tachibana (1, 2, 4-8): alto sax Arata Suzuki (1, 5, 6): soprano sax Yoshiyuki Kawaguchi (1, 5, 6): baritone sax, harmonica Akira Kito (1, 2, 5, 6): baritone sax Yoichiro Kita (1, 2, 4-8): trumpet Mitsuhide Tatsumi (1, 2, 4-8): trumpet Daisuke Takaoka (1, 2, 4-8): tuba Walti Bucheli (2, 4, 5, 8): pan flute Aya Murodate (1, 2, 4-8): flute, vibraphone, vocal Keisuke Ota (1, 2, 4-8): violinYuji Katsui (1, 5-7): violin Kazuhisa Uchihashi (1, 4, 5, 7, 8): guitar Hiroyuki Otsuka (1, 2, 5, 6): guitar Takayuki Kato (1, 3-5, 7, 8): guitar Sachiko Nakajima (1, 2, 5, 6): keyboards Hiroshi Higo (1, 2, 4-8): bass Nobuyoshi Ino (1, 4, 5, 7, 8): contrabass Kumiko Takara (1): vibraphone Tsunoken (1, 4, 5, 7, 8): drums Yasuhiro Yoshigaki (2, 5, 6): drums, percussion Mari Sekine (1, 4-8): percussion Aki Ono (5): conga Ayako Sasaki (6): vocal If you check back on this thread: http://www.sharingthegroove.org/msgboard/showthread.php?s=&threadid=39984 you'll find a new show about to be posted...with Michael Ray included...
