SYNOPSIS

A fascinating cross-genre collaboration, Rumour brings together novelist Yasutaka Tsutsui with saxophonist Kosuke Ichihara and pianist Masahiko Sato for a project that blurs the lines between literature, free jazz, and avant-garde performance. Tsutsui’s dramatic spoken word passages intertwine with Ichihara’s sharp, expressive horn work and Sato’s fearless improvisations, creating an atmosphere that is equal parts experimental theater and cutting-edge jazz. Bold, unconventional, and deeply rooted in the 1970s Japanese avant-garde, Rumour remains a rare and collectible document of boundary-pushing creativity.
