現在、選曲の最中ですが、60年代末のGeorge Russell Groupをスタートに、このグループにいたJan Garbarekの痕跡をメインに、この時期ヨーロッパに活動の諸点を移していたAlbert Ayler Don Cherryなどの音楽をかける予定です。
Nils Petter Molvaerなんかも思案中だったりします。

Thanks for sending your message from NYC JOY-san.
You may be able to read in Japanese though you cannot
write from NYC but I write in English anyway.
It's nice to get to know that Wayne was telling about
his plan for coming over Tokyo in October.
I assume the name of the bass player is Lincoln but
it's a strange why JOY-san could not remember such
familiar name. Other name was told?
Wayne will come as a guest for Lincoln Goines/Robbie Amin
project which might be tied up with Music Instrument Show.
Fodera may support the project.
#Anybody knows who Robbie Amin is? A Persussionist?
Michael Brecker vs Vinnie Colaiuta ought to be a
very special treat. Both Three Quartet No.2-2
