From Roulette:

LARRY OCHS SAX & DRUMMING CORE: USA 2009
featuring SCOTT AMENDOLA & DON ROBINSON (DRUMS)
SATOKO FUJII (PIANO, SYNTHESIZER) // NATSUKI TAMURA (TRUMPET)

Larry Ochs Sax & Drumming Core was formed in June 2000 for a special – invitation performance in San Francisco. The Core’s music is a meditation on and a 21st-century distillation of the songs of American and eastern European blues-shouters, and of traditional chant-singers from Asia and Africa. This is the space that this band was inspired by – at first. But then, after all, the end result is modern. Larry Ochs Sax & Drumming Core consists of both Scott Amendola and Donald Robinson on drums and is led by Larry Ochs on tenor and sopranino saxophones. As of November 2007, the trio expanded to a quintet, including Satoko Fujii on synthesizers and piano, and Natsuki Tamura on trumpet.
