APOSTACY @ SEDITION :

a night featuring Shoji Hano from japan.

Japanese drumming master Shoji Hano was first introduced to drumming at the age of four in the style of Kokura Gion Taiko at a local festival.
He began playing the western drum set at the age of 15. Influenced by jazz legends Max Roach, Art Blakey and “Philly” Joe Jones, Hano commenced public performances in 1974. In 1975, encounters with such mavericks as Kaoru Abe (alto sax) and Toshinori Kondo (trumpet) as well as being introduced to the martial art Shintaido had led Hano to develop his own style of improvised drumming based on the philosophical concepts of Shintaido.
