Not that Parker album, but it's his leader date. 

Track 3 isn't a Taiwanese player, but if you remember that name please drop it. I'd love to check that out. 

Since Parker's been ID'd on #9, it's track #79 here.

Nice choice! I actually own this (as part of the box set), but it'd never have occurred to me. Parker is one of my reflex guesses on BFTs, but not for shakuhachi.

The saxophonist on #3 is interesting. Kaoru Abe and Akira Sakata are the only Japanese skronkmeisters I'm familiar with, but I was sure they weren't involved. Will have to research Kawashima!

Takagi doesn't (or didn't) play alto afaik and the track was missing Sakata's drive/relentlessness -- heard a little Kawashima before but not much. Will listen further.

Correct! I've gone slowly through that box set which has paid off. It's got some excellent tracks on it.

Took me a a few listens to warm up to it but the album this comes from is definitely worthwhile. It's the only one I have from him at the moment.

Ha! Got there in the end. I only have 'Homo Sacer' by Kawashima which I need to get out again. I'm intrigued by the full details of this on reveal.

As I will be for the Parker track. I don't have the set it's from so will definitely want to know who's playing with him.

Cribbing from the booket, the Parker was recorded in Amsterdam with Coen Aalberts (conch shell, winti flute from New Guinea. cricket sounds, bird sounds, bamboo brushes, whistles, drum set) and Klaas Hekman (dogon flute, shakuhachi, bass Indian flute, piccolo, C flute).

That's it. The whole of disc 9 is this trio.

Homo Sacer is on my list to buy. That and Zoe are available on bandcamp.

Thanks for the info

[T.D.]

Those credits are for the entire album (The Fastest Train), 1 CD of the box. I don't know the instruments on that specific track. Parker is credited on keringot, hochiku, shakuhachi in D & A, stereophonic bamboo flute, Ojibway overtone bass flute, pocket trumpet, malakan flute, Chinese shakuhachi.

All right, that's a partial ID on 3 and a full ID on 9.

That leaves track 6 as the only remaining full mystery. No hints on that unless it's still mysterious come next week.

Heading into the final days here. For track 6, one of the musicians went on to record their most well known music using an alias.
