Benjamin Herman Trio feat. Otomo Yoshihide, Tomoaki Baba "The Tokyo Sessions" CD

This is a stunning studio session where Benjamin Herman, a leading alto saxophonist from the Netherlands, unleashes his boundless playing as a counterpoint to the rich underground culture of Japan, a culture he has been devoted to for many years since his first visit in 1987!

Herman has had a long-standing relationship with the band, and the lineup includes Yoshihide Otomo, a guitarist and turntable player active in cutting-edge scenes such as free jazz and noise, as well as top players leading the domestic jazz scene such as Shinpei Ruike (trumpet) and Tomoaki Baba (saxophone), and even traditional Japanese instrument players such as Akihito Obama (shakuhachi) and Ko Ishikawa (sho)!
