Otomo Yoshihide

• DIGIPACK EDITION

Japanese Free Jazz has a history that goes back to the ’60s, and Otomo Yoshihide’s latest project brings together some of the best Free Jazz players in Japan with noise musicians Sachiko M and the legendary Akita Masami of Merzbow.

Beautiful arrangements, exciting solos and a kickass rhythm section make Flutter one of Otomo’s most powerful and unusual musical statements. Features three bizarre covers of tunes by Eric Dolphy and Gerry Mulligan and four dynamic originals. Sine waves, drones, jazz and noise from one of Japan’s most ubiquitous experimental musicians.
