Asuka Kakitani DANCE #1 The Jazz idiom is always welcome in the Review. Especially so is this piece by composer Asuka Kakitani. Laden with both compositional and improvisational sections in a way only Jazz can deliver, this piece is a delight for the ears. I hope to receive more pieces from Ms. Kakitani in the future. "Dance #1" is the 2006 recipient of the Charlie Parker Jazz Composition Prize. --John Nugent Score. Music (mp3).
