Double LP + Digital release | Free Jazz

Legendary saxophonist Akira Sakata returns with Hyperentasis, out now on Defkaz Records! This double LP and digital release captures two electrifying live performances in Thessaloniki, featuring a three-drummer lineup: Aleksandar Škorić, Paul Nilssen-Love, and Tatsuhisa Yamamoto.

Joining Sakata are Giovanni Di Domenico on piano, Giotis Damianidis on electric guitar, and Petros Damianidis on double bass—an ensemble of improvisers at the peak of their powers. The result is 90 minutes of intense, unpredictable free jazz, full of energy, collaboration, and radical improvisation.
