>>>Don't know about in SF, but I saw them the other night up here in Portland and they weren't selling any stuff
at times, i've seen tatsuya be quite the product-pusher. other times, he's not mentiond cds until i asked him. i've noticed that with other japanese musicians too. while some(read: nanjo)certainly ain't bashful, it seems other japanese musicians seem to wait to be asked. i've certainly benefitd from asking more than once.
anyway, in nyc he had a half dozen titles. i got the new akaten and the new koenjiyaki (i know that's spelld wrong). he also had his *excellent* solo multi-multi-trackd disc 'a million years'.
hano/haino/brotzman's 'shadows' is highly recommended, especially for the least known member, percussionist shoji hano.

Sounds like a terrific band! I saw Wally here in Corvallis (OR) with Doug
Theriault(gtr) and Toshi Makahara last year, and they really burned!
