Post Description

Masabumi Kikuchi (菊地 雅章 Kikuchi Masabumi?, 19 October 1939 – 6 July 2015) was a Japanese jazz pianist and composer known for his eclectic music that ranges from vanguard classical to fusion and digital music. He worked with a large number of diverse musicians, including Lionel Hampton, Sonny Rollins, Woody Herman, Mal Waldron, Joe Henderson, McCoy Tyner, Elvin Jones, Miles Davis, Paul Motian, Billy Harper and Hannibal Peterson.

Masabumi Kikuchi was born in Tokyo in 1939, and lived his early life in WWII and post-war Japan. He studied music at the Tokyo Art College High School. After graduating, he joined Lionel Hampton's Japanese touring band. He died from a subdural hematoma on 6 July 2015 at a hospital in Manhasset, New York. At the time of his death, he lived in Manhattan, New York City. 

Tethered Moon, although sometimes listed under bassist Gary Peacock's name and featuring the three musicians as near-equals, is actually led by Japanese pianist Masabumi "Poo" Kikuchi. At times Kikuchi's quiet playing is a little reminiscent of Paul Bley, but his sense of humor (most at evidence during his stretching of the theme of "Misterioso") is his own and he is consistently inventive. Kikuchi, Peacock and drummer Paul Motian work together quite well on these seven selections which consist of three standards, a trio of Peacock compositions, and Kikuchi's lengthy and introspective title cut. Just a few years earlier, Kikuchi was mostly heard on synthesizers, so the thoughtful Tethered Moon was quite a departure for him. Well worth searching for.
