Japanese free jazz legend Akira Sakata and Greek avant-garde guitarist Giotis Damianidis present Adyton, their first-ever duo recording. Having collaborated since 2018, the two musicians have developed an intuitive and electrifying musical dialogue, culminating in this live performance at Haekem, Brusselsāthe final concert of a two-week tour with Entasis in September 2023.
Sakata, who turned 80 on February 21st, 2024, delivers his signature fiery alto saxophone, evocative clarinet, expressive voice, and resonant bells, while Damianidis expands the sonic spectrum with textural guitar and effects, weaving a dynamic interplay between structure and chaos.
Titled after the "Adyton"āthe innermost, most sacred part of an ancient templeāthis album invites listeners into a raw, unfiltered space of musical exploration, where spontaneous energy and deep-rooted tradition converge. A testament to Sakataās lifelong commitment to improvisation and Damianidisā boundary-pushing approach to guitar, Adyton is a powerful, transcendental journey into the unknown.
