Japanese percussionist Tatsuya Nakatani, now based in New Mexico, and Belgian bassist Peter Jacquemyn are once again hitting the road as a rhythm section dedicated to collaborating with fresh soloists and artists. They’ve previously joined forces with luminaries such as Fred Van Hove -check out the Hear Here Now release on Kraak, Johannes Bauer, Andre Goudbeek, Frank Gratkowski, or Mauro Pawlowski.

For Oorstof, Nakatani and Jacquemyn now form a quartet with masterful drummer/percussionist Paul Lytton – who, for this occasion, will showcase his rarely seen table percussion – and the innovative reed player Georg Wissel. Oorstof and De Studio are deeply honored to present these four influential players in this unique constellation, spanning multiple generations of free improvisers.
