Nagoya is the third largest city pf Japan and there are some fine musicians in the place. This month some of them gather to perform a famous game piece by John Zorn, and they are all women. This is the first time all women's line-up playing the piece in Japan.
The unit leader Ono Ryoko is a saxophonist based in Nagoya. Besides her own activities, she is also known as a frequent collaborator of drummer Yoshida Tatsuya (Ruins, Painkiller). She has just released the first solo album of her own called Undine. Her web site is here.
