Punctum Visus - Shikaku -

[Machine Translation] Saxophonist Hsieh Ming-Yen from Taiwan, who shook the jazz scene in Tokyo with his extraordinary talent, had a miraculous encounter with Japanese free jazz legends Hiroshi Yamazaki, Yoshihide Otomo and Takashi Sugawa in June 2024, and the live recording by Yoshihide Otomo, which radiated overwhelming heat, has now been released! The live sound recorded by Otomo Yoshihide is now available! Yamazaki's bellowing drums, Otomo's guitar that runs at full speed to the climax, Sugawa's bass that moves freely in all directions, and Xie's soprano sax that swings 180 degrees in the middle of the main part and blows violently - the crossbow performance by these four musicians will take your heart by surprise. The four members' intense yet subtle interplay cuts through the air as they push the limits of improvisation. The album was mixed and mastered by Dave Yang, a Taiwanese engineer who has worked with Jie Lun Zhou, Corporal Bai, and others. The cover art is a 1951 work by Kiyoshi Hasegawa, a master copperplate engraver, entitled "Little Dove in Paris (Messenger of Peace and Prosperity). A must-have for all jazz fans, this is a shocking live document that will shake the 21st century!
