Punctum Visus - 視角 - by Minyen Hsieh, Hiroshi Yamazaki, Otomo Yoshihide, Takashi Sugawa, 謝明諺, 山崎比呂志, 大友良英, 須川崇志

Taiwan's prodigy Minyen Hsieh, together with Japanese free jazz legends Hiroshi Yamazaki, Otomo Yoshihide and Takashi Sugawa, has recorded that carves its way into the 21st century!

Yamazaki's roaring drums, Otomo's guitar that runs fast and heads towards the climax, Sugawa's bass that moves inexhaustibly in all directions, Hsieh who wields a soprano saxophone and blows hard 180 degrees in the middle of the main part - the crossbow-class performance carved by these four will take your heart by surprise.
The four members of the band challenge the limits of improvisation, and their intense yet delicate interplay cuts through the air.
The album was recorded by Otomo Yoshihide, mixed and mastered by Dave Yang, a Taiwanese engineer who has worked with Jay Chou and Wu Bai.
The cover art is a 1951 work by master copperplate engraver Kiyoshi Hasegawa, “Colombe parisienne" (Messenger of Peace and Prosperity).
A must-have for jazz fans and a shocking live document that will shake the 21st century!
