Taku Sugimoto Guitar Quartet
S/T
CD / B-BOY 014






First CD from the quartet featuring Tetuzi Akiyama, Yoshihide Otomo and Toshimaru Nakamura under the guidance of Taku Sugimoto. Two long and extremely minimal acoustic/electric guitar tracks. "With so much silence going on, it's hard to imagine that this is a live recording and even harder it's to imagine that there are four guitarists at work here. They could have fooled me. If somebody said it was only one guitar playing, I would have believed this also. So delicate and carefully played, with so much concentration going on. Every player is there waiting for minutes to play one note, leap back into silence and wait until it's his turn again. It's not music to play while doing something. It's music to close your eyes to and listen. Concentrate and listen. Beauty will unfold then, right there, right before your ears. Do nothing, but listen." (Vital Weekly)
