SHIBUSASHIRAZU/Shibusashirazu Orchestra
Shibusashirazu
Orchestra, which is at the forefront of contemporary jazz,was
formed by bassist Daisuke Fuwa in 1989 as a free jazz orchestra.
The orchestra is, so to speak, a multimedia jazz performance
group consisting of over twenty musicians, including many well
known Japanese performers such as Hiroaki Katayama (ts) and Takeshi
Shibuya (p), as well as Butoh dancers,modern dancers, theater
actors, and artists.
All of the works played by Shibusashirazu Orchestra are Japanese
jazz works composed or arranged by Daisuke Fuwa. The orchestra
gives exciting stage performances, with its dynamic sound and
lively dancing and acting.
Large moving objects made by stage artists make the audiences
even more enthusiastic.
It can be said that Shibusashirazu Orchestra is not only a jazz
orchestra but alsoa group that brings together various aspects
of contemporary Japanese culture.
Some of its performances show the course of Japanese music from
the Middle Ages to the present, as the group includes musicians
playing traditional Japanese instruments such as shamisen, shakuhachi,
and ryuteki (a bamboo flute).
