What a week. 😵‍💫

Here’s some heavy #FreeJazz from #YosukeYamashitaTrio to blow out any expectations of Friday meetings, Zoom calls, or TPS reports.

Yamashita on 🎹, Akira Sakata on 🎷, and Takeo Moriyama on 🥁 in front of a wildly enthusiastic crowd at the Heidelberger Jazztage in ‘75.

Let me front load this post with the hashtag #FreeJazz to give some guidance here. (Most folks take the ride, or run for the exits - not usually a lot of middle ground in this genre.)
My week’s been chaotic, so the Yosuke Yamashita Trio pairs well as a soundtrack.

A example of free jazz within #JapaneseJazz with just enough of a repeating phrase to keep it anchored.
