Kaze Australia Tour 2016

Two internationally-renowned Japanese musicians plus two extraordinary French musicians equals electrifying new music for the world all set to perform in Brisbane, Canberra, Sydney and Redfern.

Formed only seven months before their remarkable debut recording Rafale, Kaze brings together trumpeter Natsuki Tamura and pianist Satoko Fujii, two of Japan’s well-known improviser-composers, with trumpeter Christian Pruvost and drummer Peter Orins from the French improvisers collective, Muzzix.

The members of this international quartet share an unquenchable appetite for sound experimentation, boundless energy and enthusiasm, and the disciplined intelligence of accomplished spontaneous composers. Melodic, abstract, mysterious, beautiful, and confrontational, Kaze plays free jazz at its most creative and powerful.
