2 New Tunes, March 28 Gig --from Take

Hi, everyone. This is Take, sax player & Noriko's promoter. I hope you're all doing well.

--------------------------------------------------
1) Funk Calls Me - Take's New Track
--------------------------------------------------
A new piece by Take was uploaded on MP3.com in early March. Titled "Funk Calls Me," it's an acid jazz piece featuring the organ. It just so happened that one day when I was at home, our keyboard player Koichi came by to pick up a wallet he'd forgotten earlier. Koichi didn't stay long, but an hour later I found myself in an instrument store buying a recorded collection of funk-drum samples. Another hour later, I found I had written a tune just for Koichi.

2) Satori Night - Collabo with Anto
-------------------------------------------------
Here's news about a collabo with Anto, who lives in Italy. I played the sax in his composition "Satori Night". "Satori" means "spiritual awakening" in Japanese. The tune itself is traditional jazz. To take a listen, go here.
It might be your path to enlightenment.

p.s. I've pretty much been in an "engineer mode" recently, but I'm planning to mass-produce some tunes in the near future. Please look forward
to them. (Take)

Thanks as usual for your kind attention.
