about

Free improvisation from a core of Sam Eastmond, Celeste Cantor-Stephens and Andy Watts on trumpet, joined by a special guest for each record TORU is an ongoing monthly series of albums created spontaneously through the alchemy of group improvisation.

An outrageous mixture of energy, catharsis, anger and love TORU is freewheeling, free improvisation from a diverse and eclectic combination of musicians created in a single moment in time and space.

Volume 20 features Mike Guy on Accordion, Mike is the nicest human on the face of the planet but his charm, wit and baby-face belie his crazy axe-murdering tendencies on any keyboard instrument. Playing accordion here he brought a deep energy and effortless mastery to his session as well as his kids xylophone.
Mike also features on the Spike Orchestra's Cerberus and Binah albums in John Zorn's Masada series.
