Collaborators Kioto Aoki, Haruhi Kobayashi and Mai Sugimoto release their new album miminari, out from Asian Improv Records in conjunction with the 30th anniversary celebrations of the Chicago Asian American Jazz Festival (CAAJF). Meaning a“ringing in the ears” in Japanese, the miminari album reorients sensations of miminari towards playful soundscapes with interwoven layers of saxophone, taiko, electronics and vocals. The trio’s bilingual, multicultural experiences are reflected in the titles of the songs, which offer both phonetic and descriptive word play. Their backgrounds in folk, jazz, and electronic sounds coalesce into a unique dialogue grounded in experimental improvisation.
