Akio Jeimus (Japan)/Julian Urrego (Wichita, KS) + Bay View Boyfriends + Sean Hendley
Sunday, December 15th @7:30
At the Jazz Gallery Center for the Arts - 926 East Center Street
Against all odds, mid-December 2024 will see two long-time friends and musical collaborators Urrego Julian and Akio Jeimus reunite for five dates in five states. Meeting in their early 20’s and playing together in various musical projects throughout the years in both hemispheres, the birds and birds tour will see the two embark on a short run of live sets of exclusively improvised music.
Julian Urrego is a difficult-to-define electric guitarist, often heard quoting languages of completely contrasting genres moment to moment. Now formally studying jazz, his improvisatory practice and approach continues to expand.
Akio Jeimus remains active in the improvisation and experimental music scenes in Tokyo. While remaining a constant collaborator with legends such as Toshimaru Nakamura, Akira Sakata, and Otomo Yoshihide, he also notably joined the “rhythm ensemble” goat (jp) in 2024.
