Sakata,Akira / O'Rourke,Jim / Chikamorachi & That'S The Story Of Jazz CD

And that's the story of jazz? Get it? Well, maybe you had to be there when legendary saxophonist Akira Sakata, guitarist Jim O'Rourke and bombast rhythm crew of percussionist Chris Corsano and double bassist Darin Gray (aka Chikamorachi) jumped in the van for a Japanese tour. This two CD set documents their 2008 jaunt ? not the first and far from last ? in blistering detail. Shades of Last Exit, Coltrane's Live in Seattle and even Kousokuya appear here but this quartet has nailed it's own unique 'n' volatile tension and symmetry during it's past six years together.
