about

Tenor saxophone player Junji Hirose and guitarist Kazuo Imai, both Tokyo residents born in 1955, are two of Japan’s representative improvisers. Revered musicians who have long been leading Japan’s improvised music scene, they continue to carry out a wide range of performance activities with tireless energy.

Their collaborative recording "Be Quiet!!!," a trio CD with drummer Darren Moore, was released on the Meenna label in April 2023. One year later, their new duo album, "Go Home and Go to Bed!!!" (with Hirose on tenor sax and Imai on electric guitar) has been released. The CD contains two pieces, each just under 30 minutes, from their concert at Ftarri, Tokyo, on December 21, 2021. Listeners will be stunned by the intense collision of sounds in these fiery performances.

テナー・サックス奏者の広瀬淳二とギタリストの今井和雄は同じ1955年生まれ、東京在住の日本を代表する即興演奏家。どちらも長年、日本の即興音楽シーンを牽引してきた功労者であり、現在も精力的に演奏活動を続けている。広瀬淳二はサックスとは別に、SSI (self-made sound instrument) と称した自作楽器によるノイズ演奏でも知られる。同様に、今井和雄はギターを使わず、エレクトロニクスや各種オブジェを使った演奏もよくおこなう。その種の活動として、今井を含む4人のメンバーからなる「マージナル・コンソート (Marginal Consort)」は特に有名。

広瀬淳二と今井和雄の共演作としては、このふたりにドラマーのダレン・ムーア (Darren Moore) を加えたトリオCD『Be Quiet!!!』が、2023年4月に Meenna レーベルより発売されたが、その1年後、今度は広瀬 (テナー・サックス) と今井 (エレクトリック・ギター) のデュオ・アルバムが新たにリリースとなった。 2021年12月21日、東京「Ftarri」でのライヴ演奏で、共に30分弱の2曲を収録。強烈に音をぶつけ合う熱演に圧倒されること間違いなし！！
