Welcome to LXXXVIII – the ninth Actress album to be created by Darren Cunningham and the very first presentation of Actress’ voyage into luxury sonics. A lifetime in the making, LXXXVIII is the culmination of 25 years’ honing mind-shorting, soul-igniting audio infusions for dance floors, rave dens, festivals, and concert hall, and the inaugural vessel for Actress’ cruise into novel strata of artistic influence: the executive suites, yacht decks and private jets of our planet’s ultimate power players.

Japanese Jazz Week: Kaoru Abe Special

Focus on Abe Kaoru

This episode focuses on a true maverick of late 70’s Japanese Jazz, the free improvisation player Kaoru Abe. Abe was a ferocious player, who dropped out of school at 17 and would appear almost every day at jazz spots. His discography consists almost entirely of archival and live recordings.

Listen to an hour long journey through the work of one of the most enigmatic figures of Japanese Jazz.

今回の「日本のジャズ」は70年代後半を代表する和ジャズ界の異端児・フリージャズプレイヤーの阿部薫に注目します。阿部氏の演奏スタイルはフリーを基盤とした激情型。その人生は波乱に満ちていました。17歳で高校を中退すると、ほぼ毎日のようにジャズクラブに入り浸り、数々の名作を残すと、29歳の若さでこの世を去ったのです。今回は彼の作品を通して、日本のジャズの最もエネルギッシュな時代を振り返っていきましょう。Translated by Satoko Akune.
