Bells

Label: Doubtmusic Country: Japan

"ESP edition of Albert Ayler's "Bells" LP was a special one that a tune (Bells) was included on A side only, B side had no groove. ONJT + plays 2 version of "Bells". Suddenly the sound of explosion come at us, it seems they emphasize their virile phase of ONJT(+). Albert Ayler's pastoral melody and savage sound of ONJT(+) make exquisitely beautiful contrast. Play it as loud as your audio system and neighbors permit.

ONJT means a abbreviation of Otomo Yoshide's New Jazz Trio, Otomo Yoshihide (guitar), Mizutani Hiroaki (bass, misc.), Yoshigaki Yasuhiro(drums, percussion) and "+" means the guests for those 2 CDs ; Sachiko M (sinewaves) and Jim O'rourke (EMS synthesizer).Otomo continues with his "New Jazz" project from ONJQ (Quintet) via ONJE (Ensemble) to ONJO (Orchestra), and this time he organize his core group / trio form. Those 2 CDs are long-expected works, Otomo try to revive birth and death of "free jazz" by contemporary sounds and interpretations.
