Minoru Muraoka – Bamboo [LP]

Japanese jazz/breakbeat, folkloric mega-rarity as hallowed the likes of DJ Shadow, Cut Chemist, Egon and co. Uniquely combines traditional Japanese instrumentation with Western jazz influences.

Minoru Muraoka plays ‘shakuhachi’ – a traditional bamboo Japanese flute – joined by his band members accompanying him on the ‘koto’ (strings) and ‘tsu-tsumi’ (drum) amongst others, to create their ‘Shakuhachi Jazz’ sound. Includes cover versions of very well-known jazz & pop classics, coupled with two original songs. TracksCredits1 Take Five2 Nogamigawa3 The Positive and the Negative4 And I Love Her5 The House of the Rising Sun6 Do Youknow the Way to San Jose7 Soul Bamboo8 Call Me9 Scarborough Fair
