月 (Moon) by Tamio Shiraishi

Tamio Shiraishi has worked out of Queens, NY since the early 1990s and regularly plays solo sets in the NYC subway system which have become the stuff of legend. Much of Tamio's solo aesthetic is built off of interactions with a physical space. These ten archival duos represent some of Tamio's work with like-minded improvisors.
