Had been looking for an excuse to go to Kichijoji to check this place out and wasn’t disappointed. Dzumi is a small venue and was packed to capacity for this talk show event featuring PB and master Izumi-san playing tunes back and forth and yakking about music in general. We were treated to some pretty eye-opening (for me at least) stuff including this John Handy track and Louis Sclavis covering Archie Shepp’s Blasé as well as some questionable ECM numbers, but it was all good. The wine went down a treat and I would have happily stayed longer. Looks like becoming a regular post-Disk Union stop-off in Kichi.
