Naruyoshi Kikuchi Dub Sextet / In Tokyo (LP)

Last year, Naruyoshi Kikuchi Dub Sextet held a miraculous reunion concert that sent fans into a frenzy. Now, their 2008 live album is available on vinyl for the first time!

To celebrate the release of their subscription service in April 2024, they shocked audiences once again with a miraculous reunion concert.
This year, the band will hold their final reunion concerts in Shanghai, Beijing and Tokyo.

This project, which was active from 2007 to 2010, established a unique and unparalleled style of being a "two-horn quintet sextet with an engineer onstage who dubbed the performance sound in real time."

This album contains selected takes from the live performances at Shibuya DUO music EXCHANGE on July 17th and 18th, 2008, and Akasaka BLITZ on September 1st.
A chemical reaction between electronic sounds and acoustic jazz that cuts through the Tokyo night.

This complete package captures the realism that can only be experienced at a live performance, including the fiery exchange of improvised solos by Kikuchi Naruyoshi and Ruike Shinpei, the increasingly brilliant live effects by Pardon Kimura, and the powerful driving force of the rhythm section consisting of Tsuboguchi Masayasu, Suzuki Masato, and Honda Tamaya!

This stunning live album is a stunning reproduction of the two original albums, which were coolly and meticulously produced in the studio and then post-edited on a computer.

Members: Naruyoshi Kikuchi (Tenor Sax), Masayasu Tsuboguchi (Piano, Kaoss Pad), Pardon Kimura (Real Time Dub Effects), Shinpei Ruike (Trumpet), Masato Suzuki (Bass), Tamaya Honda (Drums)
