Minoru Muraoka plays â??shakuhachiâ?? â?? a traditional bamboo Japanese flute â?? joined by his band members accompanying him on the â??kotoâ?? (strings) and â??tsutsumiâ?? (drum) amongst others, to create their â??Shakuhachi Jazzâ?? sound. Includes cover versions of very well-known jazz & pop classics, coupled with two original songs. -
