My favourite saxophone player is coming to town! Hip hip hooray!
Plus, in Dublin, Jurgen of the Jimmy Cake does some real time laptop mutating/processing/mangling of trombonist Grahm Reid, while Fergus Kelly gets percussive in the background.
the Whispering Gallery & dotdotdot records present:
MASAYOSHI URABE
CORK: Triskel, Tobin St., Thursday June 13 9pm
adm 8 euro
plus SAFE
DUBLIN: JJ Smyth's, Aungier St., Friday June 14 9pm
adm 8 euro
plus Jürgen Simpson (Jimmy Cake) & Fergus Kelly & Graham Reid
The Wire says:
"...Mesmerising physical contortions...mysterious and gripping...his performance is frightening in it's dedication"
The Whispering Gallery http://www.whisperingallery.com says:
"...Masayoshi Urabe is a highly original young saxophone player. Tokyo-based Urabe plays acoustic saxophones (alto and soprano) and harmonica...
"...Although kindly hosted by the IMC's Pendulum club (in Dublin), this is not a jazz gig. It is rather something altogether more personal and unique...
"Silence, paradoxically, is one of the defining characteristics of Urabe's music. Sometimes the silences last several minutes, gaining their own weight and presence, re-shaping the sounds that surround them in the minds of the listener. The other defining characteristic of Urabe's performances is his physicality while playing. Music is seemingly bodily shaken from his instrument... The raging tone of his sax often echoes free jazz masters such as Albert Ayler and Peter Brotzmann...
"These concerts will appeal particularly to fans of free improv sax players such as Mats Gustafsson and Evan Parker, both recent visitors to Ireland".
