Former Kyoto residents and musicians Beatrix Fife and Mamoru Katagiri (aka Bix & Marki) have returned to Japan and are playing at Urbanguild this Friday! And I do believe their old friend the trumpeter Christopher Fryman will be joining them on stage. From their website:
Beatrix(vocal&flute) and Mamoru Katagiri(guitar) have come back to Japan after 10 years spent in Belgium, then formed a group “Bix&Marki” in Tokyo. Original songs are composed by Mamoru, words are written in French by Beatrix. Intriguing harmony and melody with soft whispering voice and simple warm guitar sound, which are influenced by bossanova and jazz, express a rather poetic and sensitive atmosphere. LINK
