about

This masterful performance was born of the meeting of two master improvisers, Kazuo Imai of Japan and Roger Turner of the UK. Imai, who studied with Masayuki Takayanagi and Takehisa Kosugi, is one of Japan's leading improvisers and guitarists. Turner is a drummer and percussionist who has been actively performing throughout the world since the beginning of the 1970s. His Japan tour in October 2017 included concerts with Japanese musicians in various locations, including his performance with Kazuo Imai at Bar Isshee in Tokyo on October 11. In this duo concert, Imai played one nylon string guitar, while Turner used only snare drum, tom tom, cymbals, metal and wood instead of setting up a complete drum set; and the sound was acoustic, without electric amplification. The overall sound is somewhat controlled, in keeping with the nylon string guitar volume; and within that context the musicians' interacting sounds are remarkably diverse, dynamic, and beautiful. The concert's first set (Disc 1, 32 minutes) and second set (Disc 2, 36 minutes) are documented in their entirety on this album.

日本の今井和雄と英国のロジャー・ターナー (Roger Turner) という、即興演奏の名手ふたりの出会いが生んだ名演奏。今井は高柳昌行と小杉武久に師事した、日本を代表する即興演奏家、ギター奏者。ロジャー・ターナーは、1970年代初頭より今日に至るまで世界各地で精力的に音楽活動を続けるドラマー、パーカッショニスト。2017年10月、ロジャー・ターナーは日本ツアーをおこない、各地で日本のミュージシャンと共演。このうち、10月11日、東京「Bar Ishee」での共演相手は今井和雄だった。今井はガット・ギター１本、ターナーはドラム・セット全体を組み立てることはせず、スネア・ドラム、タム・タム、シンバル、各種小物を使用し、電気的増幅なしの生音によるデュオ演奏。ガット・ギターの音の大きさに合わせて全体に抑え気味の音量の中で、ふたりがぶつけ合う音の多彩さとダイナミズムと妙味は特筆もの。本アルバムには、この日のファースト・セットを Disc 1 (32分) に、セカンド・セットを Disc 2 (37分) に完全収録。
