Toyozumi, Sabu -& Mats Gustafsson-
Hokusai
'Hokusai' captures the electrifying duo of Swedish saxophonist Mats Gustafsson and legendary Japanese drummer Sabu Toyozumi in two live 2018 performances in Chiba, Japan. Known for his work with avant-garde groups like The Thing and Fire! Orchestra, Gustafsson pairs brilliantly with Toyozumi, a seasoned percussionist who has played with free jazz icons like Charles Mingus and Peter Brötzmann. 'Hokusai' features three dynamic duos that shift between subtle minimalism and explosive energy. Highlights include the tension-filled 'Woman With A Cat' and the climactic, 20-minute 'For Ever-Advancing Artistry.' Get ready to begin a thrilling journey into the world of spontaneous, boundary-pushing improvisation. The CD version contains two additional bonus tracks.
