East Plants

by Takeo Moriyama

East Plants cover art

Helmed by the intensely dynamic former drummer of the Yosuke Yamashita Trio, this deeply engaging album seamlessly blends hard-driving post-bop with Japanese folk sensibilities. 'East Plants' utilizes complex, highly propulsive rhythmic structures to support fiery, deeply spiritual saxophone and piano improvisations. The critically celebrated, entirely acoustic recording demonstrated the immense vitality and highly unique character of the 1980s Japanese avant-garde jazz circuit.
