about

In 2009 Family Vineyard released the first U.S. album by Japanese saxophone legend Akira Sakata in more than 20 years. That critically heralded release, Friendly Pants, was with Sakata's long running rhythm crew Chikamorachi -- drummer Chris Corsano and acoustic bassist Darin Gray. This LP is their follow-up. Recorded during the '09 Umbrella Music Festival in Chicago.

Live at Hungry Brain is an outrageous document by this brawling avant garde trio. Sakata, on alto/clarinet/ vocals, relentlessly pushes Corsano/Gray into the blackout zone. Recorded at The Hungry Brain in Chicago, Nov. 8, 2009 during the 4th annual Umbrella Music Festival.
