Kabusacki Journal: July 2013

After a year I'm back in the gigster's journals

I left Buenos Aires on May 18h. Travelled with Luciano Pietrafesa to the USA for another amazing adventure:

Robert Fripp & The Orchestra of Crafty Guitarists

we rehearsed near Boston for almost a week and we played 3 concerts:

Boston, Hadley and New York

about 65 acoustic guitars improvising, whizzing, walking in procession, self organizing in small groups, jumping, circulating... lots of fun and action and sometimes unique amazing music

after the NY concert I stayed in NY for a few days, resting, preparing for my upcoming tour

I may post more on these days later, but now it's time to begin the Kabusacki Japan Tour 2013 Journal!

June 1 arrived in Tokyo. Kaz and Koki were waiting for me. so happy to see them!!!!!!!!
june 2 Ochanomizu guitar shops. bought a beautiful Tokai Les Paul and a pedalboard

Organizing my pedals...

ready to go...

June 3...the first concert,

Kabusacki (electric guitar), Uchihashi Kazuhisa (electric guitar and daxophone) and Yasuhiro Yoshigaki (drums) at Tokyo Pit Inn

I've known Uchi for many years, the first time I played with Altered States in Osaka I was blown away!!!!! since then we played together again many times in Japan, Argentina and also in Vienna. incredible guitarist!!!!! I have no idea how he produces the sounds he makes...amazing. he also plays daxophone in my album The Flower and The Radio.

Yasuhiro Yoshigaki is one of the best drummers in the world. by far one of my very favorites. we also shared many adventures together...even some records! like Kirie and Live at Kinema Club Tokyo...

The Pit Inn is a legendary club in Tokyo, I'm very honored to play here with these wonderful musicians and friends!
