“Proton Pump” was released on February 2, 2018 by “Family Vineyard
Records”. Album was recorded by avant-garde jazz legend saxophonist Akira
Sakata and “Chikamorachi” – it’s drummer Chris Corsano, acoustic bass player
Darin Gray and pianist, composer Masashiko Satoh. The improvisations by these
four musicians always have interesting and vibrant sound. Sudden and
unpredictable stylistic waves, turns of the moods, pleasant surprises,
fascinating and vibrant blow outs, wild fast and virtuosic riffs – all these
elements form the main part of these improvisations. The musicians have
original and specific playing manner, which is formed and synthesized by free
jazz improvisations and bebop, hard-bop and post-bop styles. The musicians
always try out new and experimental ways of playing, twist together different
moods, characters and contrasting episodes. Their improvisations always have
original, sharp, vibrant, aggressive and innovative sound.
