TETSU SAITOH

TETSU SAITOH
instrumental/improvisation

Tetsu Saitoh is a Tokyo-based double bass player with a mesmerising and technically brilliant style unhampered by convention. His hauntingly abstract improvisations combine tango, jazz, contemporary classical and traditional Asian music.

For the last 15 years, Saitoh has been touring regularly in Europe and the United States, performing both solo and in collaboration with a wide range of highly respected musicians and performers from around the globe. Saito’s free-spirited approach to the double bass is sure to enchant both musical connoisseurs and newcomers.

Saito will be also performing with butoh dancer Taketeru Kudo for this, his first performance in Australia. We take great pleasure in welcoming this exceptional duo.
