MURAOKA MINORU - CD BAMBOO

Popis - BAMBOO:
Reissued here is a Japanese jazz/breakbeat, folkloric
mega-rarity from 1970, revered by the likes of DJ Shadow, Cut
Chemist, Egon and co. This work uniquely combines traditional
Japanese instrumentation with Western jazz influences. Minoru
Muraoka and his shakuhachi (Japanese bamboo flute) are joined
by musicians accompanying him on the koto (strings) and
tsutsumi (drum) amongst others, to create their Shakuhachi jazz
sound. The album couples cover versions of very well-known jazz
pop classics (ranging from Dave Brubeck's 'Take Five' to songs
best known from The Animals, Simon & Garfunkel and Dionne Warwick) with two original songs. This reissue comes with
reproduced cover art.
