This is the second release by Bonjintan, whose name translates roughly to
'ordinary person'. Personnel is: Akira Sakata on sax, clarinet and voice; Jim
O’Rourke on double bass; Giovanni Di Domenico on piano and hohner pianet, and
Tatsuhisa Yamamoto on drums.

On the title track there are squalls of growled vocals; urgent swings of sax;
bass and piano with a rhythmic swish of cymbals like breakers. The raw vocals
of Sakata have teeth, and elsewhere there is a thrillingly erratic swing and
the furious free jazz chase of the sort I associate with much older jazz
bands. I've had it on repeat.
