ABOUT REDUCTION ENSEMBLE (Asian Improv Records 099)
The original concept of "Reduction" was Tatsu Aoki's creative response to the popular taiko drumming stripped of its musical elements. It argues for upholding the beauty in taiko performance and for its connectivity to aesthetics and musicality. An incarnation of this "Reduction" concept has been presented annually in performance for over 14 years at venues such as the Museum of Contemporary Art as Taiko Legacy and Reduction. The Reduction Ensemble is the musical extension of this philosophy. A new configuration of one of Chicago's traditional, experimental and creative jazz music scene bulwarks, Tatso Aoki's Reduction Ensemble, synthesizes and weaves their vibe with the current member roster: Tatsu Aoki (shamisen/contrabass); Edward Wilkerson Jr. (saxophone, didgeridoo, clarinet), Jamie Kempkers (cello) and KIOTO (taiko, tsuzumi).
