Kazamaki Takashi

Takashi- percussion

Pulling off a solo percussion album is hard enough. To release one, promote it and get people to listen to it seems almost impossible, even in this age of do-it-yourself. I�d never heard of Takashi, but I�ve heard of Tom Cora, Ned Rothenberg, Nick Didkovsky and Elliot Sharp, all of whom he�s played with. And Samm Bennett, who�s in that group, is someone I personally know. So I was intrigued, of course. Takashi comes through impressively here in this collection of freely improvised live cuts. He not only survives the high-wire act that is the solo percussion record, he prevails. Strongly recommended for percussion followers of any kind.
