February 1, 2020. Atsushi Ikeda, a master of alto saxophone in the Japanese jazz Scene, boarded the Taro Okamoto Memorial Museum in Minami-Aoyama, Tokyo, and performed an overwhelming solo performance for two hours in front of a full audience. While freely manipulating the saxophone, which is naturally unsuitable for solo performances, he fascinated the audience with his beautiful tone and thrilling development. At this time, the amount of heat and tension that filled the venue was unparalleled. Please enjoy the one and only live performance that unfolded in a small and dense art space.
