Shakuhachi : John Kaizan Neptune | |

This work is based in part on one of the most famous traditional pieces for shakuhachi, a duet called "Shika no Tone" ("The Distant Cry of the Deer"). I'm grateful to Nippon Columbia recording director Tats Konno for suggesting I include this very traditional Japanese-flavored piece in this recording. Much is often said about the shakuhachi in connection with Zen. I prefer to say simply "Have a listen," and then play a piece like this.
