Album Description
THE MIYUMI PROJECT
TATSU AOKI ~ MWATA BOWDEN ~ PAUL KIM
HIDE YOSHIHASHI ~ PATTI ADACHI ~ ROBBIE HUNSINGER A SOUTHPORT/ASIAN IMPROV NEW CD WORLD WIDE RELEASE "Somewhere in the great beyond, the ancestors are smiling over the coming together of traditions that "The Miyumi Project" represents..."
Lloyd Sachs, The Chicago Sun-Times SOUTHPORT and Asian Improv Records are proud to announce the World Wide CD release of its first project as sister and brother labels, Tatsu Aoki's "The Miyumi Project. The Miyumi ensemble includes members Tatsu Aoki, Mwata Bowden, Paul Kim, Patti Adachi, Hide Yoshihashi and Robbie Hunsinger. Miyumi is one of Tatsu Aoki's daughters. The essence of The Miyumi Project is the blend of Asian, African, Latin and European forms of musical and social expression. This tapestry of sound has its roots in the essence of rhythm and makes use of traditional and exotic drums and tempered instruments. It is true world music, from Chicago created in the present tense and constantly evolving. Over the years Southport Records and Asian Improv Records have formed bonds of music and friendship. Musicians from Chicago's Southport label, like Fred Anderson and Don Moye have and will appear with artists from San Francisco's Asian Improv label, like Francis Wong and Anthony Brown. Historically and musically, minority owned and independent labels have been lost in what has become so-called "commercial" music. With this bond, Southport and Asian Improv will try and spread the news of music, and the social condition. Band Members: Tatsu Aoki, Mwata Bowden, Paul Kim, Patti Adachi, Hide Yoshihashi and Robbie Hunsinger.
Customer Reviews
Good CD, better in person.
I purchased this CD after seeing the Miyumi Project perform live. The live performance was amazing and the CD is just good. Had I not seen them perform I probably wouldn't have enjoyed the CD quite as much. I do However plan on purchasing another Miyumi Project Album though because there were pieces in their live performance that are not on this CD that I would like to own.
