Recorded live at Shinjuku Pit Inn, Tokyo on April 17, 1997

Issued in 1997 on PSF, the live album by the Poly Breath Percussion Band is an exercise in skronk, rhythm, and groove. Featuring Shoji Hano on traps and talking drums; Megumu Nishino on an elaborate array of electronic drums, electronics, and traditional Japanese percussion instruments; Tetsu Yamauchi on electric bass; and the totally amazing alto talents of veteran improviser and free jazzer Keizo Inoue (electronica pioneer Tetsu's father), this band in a live setting is just plain dangerous. There are five selections in this live date, and each of them has an individualized methodology in getting to the "real" outside. They begin on the fringes, with fluid rhythms locking horns and gesturing one another further. As the drummers take hold of the middle of an improvisation, Inoue does his part to illustrate and translate the language with his won soloing. He is fastidious, never playing an extra note, and always sharp and angular in his tone, which is refined and honed to a point; it literally cuts through the entire mix to declare, question, explicate, or argue with the rhythmic matters being put forth by the drummers. At the bottom of all this flux and motion is Yamauchi's bass, not holding it together so much as building bridges three ways: between both drummers, then to their collective sound and Inoue's and all of it to himself. He doesn't predict - he reacts and moves everything down to the base of its sonic existence. This is a mind-blowing exercise in free improv with some of the most soulful playing in this setting ever recorded. ~ thom jurek, allmusic.com
Recording of the debut gig by the Poly Breath Percussion Band (aka P.B.2) at the Tokyo Pit Inn in April 1997. Dynamic percussionist Shoji Hano has made a name for himself through several self-released albums, and his work with Peter Brötzmann. However the real revelation here is the 75-year old altoist, Keizo Inoue. Despite having played and taught on the Japanese jazz scene for over 50 years (his pupils include Akira Sakata) and having appeared at the Moers Festival, Inoue has remained a marginal figure in the history of free music. This disk reveals him to be a thoughtful and inventive free player on both alto and clarinet. Soundwise, P.B.2 suggest a more rhythmically complex Last Exit, with Tetsu Yamauchi's heavily-effects altered electric bass providing a lot of tonal interest. Inoue knows just when to step back to give the percussionists the space they need to take off into torrents and whirlpools of pulsating rhythmic heat. A rare antidote to the acres of tedium that are usually taken to represent Japanese jazz. ~ psfrecords.com
