Tatsuya Nakatani - [excerpt]

It's always a treat when master percussionist Tatsuya Nakatani visits town, and even moreso to hear him bowing and clanging in such an intimate space. Down in Wenona's basement zone, there was some intense spacialization going down, with phantom drums bouncing back from the walls. A very tasty zone to close one's eyes and zone out.

[Adjusting for holiday downtime, Furniture Music will be holding a special co-presentation with JAOIM on the second Tuesday this month — that's Tuesday, December 10th — with a couple unsanctioned rounds of the improvisational game Cobra conducted by Joe Sorbara. Scheduled participants include Mingjia Jessica Chen, Bea Labikova, Naomi McCarroll-Butler, Rob Grieve, Ashley Urquhart, Andrew Furlong, Raphael Roter, and Alex Fournier.]
