Otomo Yoshihide’s New Jazz Quintet (ONJQ) is a Japanese free jazz/experimental ensemble led by a composer, sound producer, turntablist, and guitarist Otomo Yoshihide. What John Zorn means to the New York scene, Otomo Yoshihide means to the Japanese - tackling the jazz repertoire with raw virtuosity and brazen skill. Forging the traditional for the extreme, post-modern, and ironic - a ‘voracious, adventurous explorer of the musical unknown’ and the kind of music that could even turn on any ‘jazz’ skeptic.
