MANHOLE vol.2 | Masayo Koketsu on Sax, Ippei Kato on Guitar, Ryotaro Miyasaka Drums&Percussion
After the fascinating first collaboration of Ippei Kato and Ryotaro Miyasaka at the same venue in October 2023, there was another performance in December 2023 with this composition + Reona. The improvisation that comes out of the drawers of each of them, which you don't usually see, is magical! DJ JAM's play is also something to look forward to!
