About SoSaLa

SoSaLa – has released another retrospective recording from 1983, when “music was made at a special time and with exceptional musicians”. The music on this album comes from the Japanese free jazz-punk noise scene. On this album, SoSaLa seamlessly blends Harmolodic Free-Jazz and No-Wave rock to enhance every element the music draws on. The succinct song structures provide a perfect foil for his low-fi improvisations on the soprano and tenor saxophone (not to mention his work on the Rhodes piano and harmonica). The contributions by the other musicians on the sessions bring unique dimensions and startling voices to enhance an already compelling and potent mix. The music sits well with rock and jazz, yet transcends both genres at the same time. In 1981, when SoSaLa lived in Osaka and was known as Sadato, he formed his first official indie noise rock band, SADATO GROUP, with members Mutsuhiko Izumi on electric guitar and electric bass and drummer-pianist Hitoshi Usami. He met them for the first time in 1981 at their ree jazz noisy duo at his favorite jazz coffeeshop, Cole, in Osaka-Ibaragi City. He liked what he heard and invited them to a rehearsal. After rehearsing several times, they formed a band with Sadato as the leader and composer, and named it after him. They played mainly in Osaka, but later, to reach a bigger audience, they decided to play in Tokyo every three months. The Sadato Group became known for blending elements of alternative rock, free jazz, noise, and occasionally experimental sounds into their music. Their style combines energetic riffs, introspective lyrics, and unique arrangements, setting them apart in the Japanese indie rock and jazz music scenes.
