Satoshi Takeishi is another old friend, who I'm happy to have here! Satoshi is a great drummer, percussionist, and composer. He has played, toured and recorded with lots of great musicians, including Ray Barretto, Carlos ‘Patato' Valdes, Eliane Elias, Marc Johnson, Eddie Gomez, Randy Brecker, Dave Liebman, Anthony Braxton, Mark Murphy, Herbie Mann, Paul Winter Consort, Rabih Abu Khalil, Toshiko Akiyoshi Big Band. Currently, he is working on several interesting projects, which we talk about in the interview, including working with his wife, Shoko, who is a fine pianist and composer. Satoshi and I met at Berklee in 1982. It's interesting that we're still having the same conversation all these years later. Come and join the conversation.

Hear unpredictable and graceful melodic lines traded by sax and strings, as tenor sax superstar Joshua Redman and string quartet Brooklyn Rider, along with all-star rhythm section of Scott Colley (bass) and Satoshi Takeishi (percussion) take over the studio. It's chamber music with swoops, dives, groove and bite in original and newly-arranged music with one foot in the jazz world where sharps are optional.

Según la flautista y saxofonista Anna Webber, entre su forma de tocar y de componer había una brecha que ahora trata de cerrar con "Idiom", disco doble grabado en dos formatos: junto a Matt Mitchell (piano) y John Hollenbeck (batería), su Simple Trio; con un Large Ensemble de doce músicos, entre los que se encuentra el trompetista Adam O'Farrill, el trombonista Jacob Garchik y el baterista Satoshi Takeishi, entre otros. Dice la pianista suiza Irène Schweizer que siempre ha sentido "afinidad" con los músicos negros, entre ellos el baterista estadounidense Hamid Drake. Con él presenta "Celebration", un directo en el festival Konfrontationen de Austria que se suma a la larga lista de dúos de piano y batería registrados por Schweizer desde 1986. Se las arreglaron para poder grabar en plena pandemia entrando juntos en el estudio pero sin necesidad de verse las caras. Uno de los músicos padece problemas respiratorios que aconsejaban tomar precauciones extra. A pesar de todo, Ceramic Dog, el trío de Marc Ribot (voz y guitarra), Shahzad Ismaily (bajo y teclado) y Ches Smith (batería, percusión y electrónicas) logró encontrar "Hope" en la música.

In this podcast, we'll be talking to jazz saxophonist and composer Quinsin Nachoff. His new album Pivotal Arc is released today on Whirlwind Recordings. Quinsin's music has been well-known for its unpredictability and innovation, for crossing boundaries between different musical genres and pushing the performers' barriers. The album is based around three main works. Firstly, a violin concerto features virtuoso soloist Nathalie Bonin, and a jazz-tinged unit comprising two giants of the New York scene (bassist Mark Helias and drummer Satoshi Takeishi), vibraphone player Michael Davidson, and a wind and string ensemble conducted by JC Sanford. The first movement is written as "an imaginary deconstructed and reconstructed Tango." The second movement is a ballad that combines both written and improvised sections and the third is inspired by Balkan folk music. The String Quartet (performed by the Molinari String Quartet) "represents some of Nachoff’s most intricate writing to date, allowing him to explore his deep attachment to the tradition and his engagement with contemporary iterations." As he recalls, "I like to keep up with what's happening now in quartet writing and this gave me the opportunity to explore some of those ideas – pitch axis, using quarter tones, etc., but still keeping a jazz influence because that’s a large part of my background.." The final work, Pivotal Arc, has been described as "Nachoff's extended reflection on the critical position we currently find ourselves in regarding climate change." It's perhaps the most traditional jazz-sounding work on the album with ample opportunity for interplay between the jazz unit and solos from bassist Helias, drummer Satoshi Takeishi, and Nachoff's tenor saxophone. With broad influences ranging from Strayhorn to Mancini, Bartók to Berg, this is a unique album that's refreshing and innovative to listen to from both the classical and jazz perspectives. Many thanks to: Quinsin for talking to me and his permission to use some extracts from the album in this podcast. Ann Braithwaite for bringing this really interesting project to my attention.

We hang out with Shoko Nagai and Satoshi Takeshi and hear tracks from her amazing TOKALA project...    Shoko Nagai is a versatile musical artist who improvises and performs with world-renowned musicians on piano and accordion and composes original scores for films and live performances. As a teenager in her native Japan, Nagai was trained on Yamaha's electronic organ, the "Electone," to perform popular music. Since moving to the U.S. from Japan and studying classical and jazz music at Berklee, she has adapted her mastery of the keyboard to prepared piano, accordions, the melodica and other instruments, often inspired by the minimalist approach of composer Takemitsu Toru. Whether she is performing Klezmer, Balkan or experimental music, Nagai is a charismatic presence onstage, who hypnotizes audiences with her intense focus and virtuoso sound. Since moving to New York in 1999 she has been dubbed an "MVP" of the downtown jazz scene, performing with John Zorn, Erik Friedlander, Ikue Mori, Marc Ribot, Frank London, Matana Roberts, Miho Hatori (Cibo Matto), Satoshi Takeishi, Butch Morris, Elliot Sharp, Jeremiah Lockwood and many eclectic performers. Nagai frequently tours internationally, performing in Sweden (2009 Nobel Prize ceremony for German writer, Herta Muller), Italy (Napoli Teatro Festival 2015), Austria (Saalffelden Jazz Festival 2014), France (Banlieues Bleues 2012), Switzerland (Rote Fabrik 2012), Holland (Bimhuis 2012),  Japan (Fuji Rock Festival 2012), Israel (Romanian Institute 2011), Canada (Suoni Popolo Festival 2008), Germany (Moers Jazz festival 2007), and Brazil (resfest 2007) and in the U.S. (Newport Jazz Festival 2015, Saratoga Jazz Festival 2008). She has received grants from JazzJants (Painted Bride Arts Center) in 2008 and the New York Foundation for the Arts in 2010. Nagai's compositions for films include, L'amour Cache (2007), directed by Alessandro Capone and conducted by Butch Morris, as well as a trio of films directed by Linda Hoaglund: ANPO: Art X War (2010 Toronto, DOC NYC, Vancouver, and Hong Kong film festivals), Things Left Behind, (2012) produced by Japan's national broadcaster, NHK, and The Wound and The Gift, narrated by Vanessa Redgrave (Vancouver, DOC NYC, Tokyo FilmX 2014). CARE (2016 DOC NYC, AFI DOCS, Sheffield Doc Fest, Reelworld Impact Award) directed by Diredre Fishel   “Connection beyond genre and contrasting elements, in quest for the essence” is what Japanese-born musician/improviser Satoshi Takeishi strives for in his performances, whether behind a drum set, a hybrid percussion set or computer-based electronics.  With over 30 years’ experience in live performances and recording sessions around the world, executing in styles of Jazz, Rock, Contemporary Classical, Avant Garde, Experimental Electronic, Latin, South American, Arabic and African music, Takeishi moves among diverse musical environments. Rather than a specialist of any one style, Takeishi constantly strives for an integration of his diverse musical experience and knowledge. 

Norvegian Landscapes (etichetta Da Vinci) è il terzo capitolo di un trittico che a Marco Cappelli, chitarrista italiano ma da una quindicina d'anni a New York (dove è inseritissimo nella scena dell'avanguardia), è stato ispirato dal noir europeo contemporaneo: il primo album era dedicato a Fred Vargas, il secondo a Maurizio De Giovanni e questo a Jo Nesbo, autore di gialli norvegese. Cappelli lo ha realizzato con il suo Acoustic Trio, con Ken Filiano al contrabbasso e Satoshi Takeishi alle percussioni, e con ospiti Oscar Noriega ai clarinetti e DJ Olive turntables ed elettronica. Filiano fa anche parte di The Fictive Five, formazione nata nel 2013 per iniziativa del sassofonista Larry Ochs, un veterano dell'avanguardia (basti citare il Rova Saxophone Quartet). Passati in marzo dall'Italia, i Fictive Five ci sono piaciuti molto dal vivo ad Area Sismica di Forlì. In coincidenza con le esibizioni italiane è uscito il loro nuovo album Anything Is Possible (Clean Feed): in quintetto, con Nate Wooley alla tromba, un secondo contrabbasso, Pascal Niggenkemper, e Harris Eisenstadt alla batteria, i Fictive Five propongono un free di alto livello, sostanzioso, che vive dentro pezzi ben architettati, con una notevole articolazione di situazioni, data da una intelligente varietà di combinazioni fra i cinque musicisti

Toda la información acerca de HDO en http://www.tomajazz.com/web/?cat=13298. Dos son los vectores principales de esa matriz musical y creativa que es el sello portugués Clean Feed. Pedro Costa, al frente de la discográfica lusa desde sus inicios, ha sabido aúnar la publicación de grabaciones de figuras ya reconocidas en la escena internacional de la música libre (mayormente jazz, pero no exclusivamente), junto a la aparición en su catálogo de músicos (entre los que hay un buen número de artistas portugueses), que han resultado un agradable descubrimiento. El sello ha sabido navegar en el complicado océano de las ediciones discográficas, abundante en sellos unipersonales, pequeños, medianos y grandes, y casi desde el mismo inicio fue capaz de sobresalir en la escena internacional. Un buen ejemplo de todo esto son las cinco referencias que aparecen publicadas en la primera entrega de nuevas grabaciones publicadas en 2016. Entre las figuras más reconocidas están Harris Eisenstadt (al frente de un cuarteto con Jeb Bishop, Tony Malaby y Jason Roebke), el dúo de Fred Frith junto a Darren Johnston, o el trío Renku (con John Hébert, Michaël Attias y Satoshi Takeishi) con una grabación en uno de los corazones del jazz, el Greenwich Village. En cuanto a los “descubrimientos”, están el CD homónimo del potente trío Protean Reality (con Chris Pitsiokos, Noah Punkt y Philipp Scholz), o Collective Efervescence del combo liderado por el baterista Dre Hocevan, a quien acompañan Lester St. Louis, Bram de Looze, Chris Pitsiokos –nuevamente-, y Philip White. Si a todo lo indicado en el primer párrafo se añade que al mayor valor propio en ese análisis son sus buenas músicas, la aproximación –una vez más- a Clean Feed está más que justificada. Pachi Tapiz, 2016 HDO (Hablando de oídas) es un podcast sobre el que ha reflexionado y que ha sido imaginado, deseado, editado, producido, conducido y presentado por Pachi Tapiz.
