Shakuhachi : John Kaizan Neptune |
|
Arakawa's strengths as an original composer and jazz arranger are well presented in this swinging, melodic number. It was first performed by the Tokyo Union big band at the Montreaux Jazz festival, Switzerland, in 1978. The arrangement here makes effective use of John's consummate shakuhachi style, with a Japanese "biwa" (lute) for flavor.
