The second of Bach: The Organ Works by Megumi Yoshida, who achieved the performance of all the organ works by the first Japanese new Bach Complete Works. Like the previous work, Bach's beloved organ maker Arp Schnitger uses the timeless famous organ left in Groningen, the Netherlands.

One of most present Tatsuya Yoshida live release is recorded still in 2006 during his concert in Tel-Aviv. His two collaborators on this concert were Istraeli/NY avant jazz sax player Assif Tsahar and member of Russian/Israeli avant-klezmer band Kruzenshtern & Parohod bassist Igor Krutogolov…

This live collection is the first of three (so far) collections of improvisations released by Tatsuya Yoshida and Uchihashi Kazuhisa. On display here is the kind of music you'd expect from the two playing together - high energy, complex improvisations with guitar and drums and (of course) bizarro lyrics courtesy of Yoshida…
