Japanese drummer George Otsuka is always one hell of a hip cat – one of those players whose name on a record always means that we'll pick it up – and never fail to hear something wonderful! And while Otsuka first got his start working with a piano trio at the end of the 60s, this sweet set from the mid 70s really has him stretching out nicely – working with a freewheeling group that has plenty of spiritual elements – but in that gentler avant mode you'd find in the Japanese scene of the time. The set's got some especially great Fender Rhodes and piano from Fumio Karashima, plus tenor and soprano sax from Shozo Sasaki – and all tracks are nice and long, and really let the instrumentation build up in this flowing, organic sort of way. Mitsuaki Furuno plays bass, and Norio Ohno adds in a bit of extra percussion too – and titles include a nice reading of "Naima", with lots of fast-moving congas – plus "Physical Structure", "Mustard Pot", and "Little Island".

Part of a great move forward for Japanese drummer George Otsuka in the 70s – a player who'd really made some great waves with his trio material at the end of the 60s, but who found a way deepen his groove with a larger group on records like this – really standing out as one of the most spiritual players on his scene at the time! The players are all in Japanese, so we can't tell you their names – but the quintet feature an excellent reedman who blows both soprano sax and tenor, a deep-voiced trumpeter, and a pianist who also serves up a fair bit of Fender Rhodes too – both elements used in a really strong way over these long tracks on the set, which have a similar blend of soul and spirit as the best Japanese Columbia jazz sessions of the time. Otsuka's bolder than ever before – especially as the album moves on – and titles include "Sea Breeze", "Jumping Cats", "Potato Chips", and "Cannibal".

Keiji "George" Otsuka (born April 6, 1937, Tokyo) is a Japanese jazz drummer. Otsuka first began playing professionally with Sadao Watanabe's quartet toward the end of the 1950s. He worked for several years with Hidehiko Matsumoto in the 1960s, then led his own trio with Hideo Ichikawa, in addition to working with Roy Haynes. He was a member of the Four Drums ensemble which did a tour of Japan in 1970; Jack DeJohnette, Roy Haynes, and Mel Lewis were the other drummers in this group. Otsuka was frequently tapped as a percussionist for Japanese tours of international musicians in the 1970s and 1980s, such as Richie Beirach, Elvin Jones, Kenny Kirkland, John Scofield, Nana Vasconcelos, Miroslav Vitous, Phil Woods, and Reggie Workman. He was also the founder of the trio We Three, with Hiroyuki Takamoto and Hideaki Kanazawa.

Julie Otsuka - Nuoto libero eBooks & eLearning

Posted by Karabas91 at Oct. 24, 2022

Gli amanti del nuoto libero sanno che la loro amatissima piscina sotterranea è un luogo quieto, perfetto per il relax e la concentrazione, dove ciascuno gestisce il suo corpo e il suo tempo lontano dal mondo di superficie. È il loro spazio, la loro zona di conforto, la fonte di un benessere superiore. La loro è una vita appartata e felice, vasca dopo vasca, virata dopo virata. Fino al giorno in cui la comparsa di una crepa sul fondo della piscina incrina le certezze di tutti, soprattutto di Alice. Alice, madre della narratrice, soffre anche lei, in parallelo, per le crepe insanabili che minacciano la sua memoria. Senza la piscina a strutturare il suo tempo, la sua vita intera scivola nella confusione, nello scompiglio, nell'incertezza. Sua figlia la osserva, e ricostruisce per lei un passato che la memoria non trattiene più: l'infanzia, il campo di concentramento per giapponesi, il lungo matrimonio, la morte della prima figlia neonata, l'esperienza di madre nippoamericana in California. Con una scrittura essenziale e con indicibile grazia e profonda tenerezza, Julie Otsuka osserva il declino di una madre imparando a orientarsi in un rapporto difficile e insieme ad amarla come mai prima.
