LARNER / LEANDRE / UCHIHASHI, BRETT / JOELLE / KAZUHISA - NO DAY RISING (CD)

special offer "No Day Rising is a total workout in strings meeting wood. The convergence of Larner's prepared koto and Uchihashi's versatile daxophone with Leandre's nimble bridgework on contrabass occupies a similar sonic range, which makes for a cohesive result, Toward the end,...Leandre's arco passages are more dominant, causing the other two players to play more melodically. Overall, a very well-balanced, almost tuneful meeting captured in a strong, smooth recording." (label info) Brett Larner, koto, bass koto, prepared bass koto, Joelle Leandre, contrabass, Kazuhisa Uchihashi, electric guitar, daxophone.
