小森俊明、庄子勝治、望月太喜之丞。異なるバックグランドを持つ三者による異色の組み合わせが実現。ポストコンポジション、即興、邦楽、フリージャズ等、様々な形態の垣根を無効にするかのような音の乱舞、空間の創造である。静謐と喧騒、雄弁な無音の間、音の外向的パワーと内側に向かう精神性。多局面を表現する即興演奏の深部へ向かうドキュメンタリー。2023年、東京大泉学園 In “F” に於ける実況録音盤。

Toshiaki Komori, Masaharu Showji, and Taikinojo Mochizuki. A unique combination of three musicians with different backgrounds was realized. It is an orgy of sound and the creation of space that seems to nullify the barriers between various forms such as post-composition, improvisation, Japanese music, and free jazz. Tranquility and bustle, eloquent intervals of silence, the extroverted power of sound and the inward spirituality. This is a documentary that goes into the depths of improvisation expressing multiple phases, recorded live at “in F” Oizumigakuen, Tokyo in 2023.
How the unit (Masaharu Showji 、Taikinojo Mochizuki, Toshiaki Komori) was formed.
Two of the three musicians,Masaharu Showji(saxophone) and Taikinojo Mochizuki (
tuzumi japanese traditional drums), were introduced by jazz critic Teruto Soejima about 30 years ago,
(At that time, the three of them performed together with shakuhachi player Toshiya Mizukawa, who is also a well-known composer in the Japanese music world.) Since then, Showji and Taikinojo have been performing together in a number of sessions in a variety of configurations,
Showji and Taikinojo would continue to play together in a variety of configurations.
Time passed, and in 2018, through the introduction of noise musician and percussionist Tamayura Kurage, a member of the improvisation duo “Nutetama” (鵺魂)
Showji and Toshiaki Komori (piano) performed together for the first time at the now defunct cafe Chakaiki (Yotsuya, Tokyo).
Showji and Komori hit it off and had a duo session once,
In 2023, Taikinojo and Komori met through
Showji , and a trio session by Showji ,Taikinojo, and Komori was realized at In”F” (Oizumigakuen, Tokyo) in the same year.
As of 2024, however, there is still no name for the unit of these three.
