Yukihiro Isso is probably Japan's leading player of noh-kan and shinobue flutes. He is a superb traditional noh flutist performing in noh plays from an early age. However, it's his willingness to experiment, innovate and develop the noh-kan and shinobue flutes that really sets him apart. On this album he plays in a trio with the excellent Natusuki Kido (guitars) and Masaki Yoshimi (tabla, matoka) also playing a variety of western recorders.Brilliantly played by three outstanding musicians, this album is at times quite light in sound, other times with echoes of flamenco or India.
