There are some nice perceptive thoughts in the review.<br /><br />I'm thinking of the idea that what Toshimaru Nakamura does is provide a "ground" in the sense of 2d art, for other musicians to add figures on top. That's not a new idea but connecting it with "Side Guitar" and how he mentions having always wanted to be a rhythm (side) guitarist.. it is as if that is indeed what he does in improv settings - stasis and longer durations between changes functioning like a rhythm accompaniment. This is why what he does makes him a consistently capable collaborator.<br /><br />As in most musics, it seems that more people want to be soloists and not enough musicians want to accompany (ever tried to find a decent drummer?).BKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00110057225241238259noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-945280568203933389.post-5704312132080157942008-11-21T13:46:00.000-08:002008-11-21T13:46:00.000-08:00this is great. i have read a couple of the other r...this is great. i have read a couple of the other reviews posted on IHM, and this one is a welcome contrast in perspective. thanks, and please keep it coming!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
