Lotus Code

Originally conceived before lockdowns, Lotus Code is an exceptional gathering of multi-generational players bringing unique expressions, styles and experiences to the music. The connections between Ed Jones, the players, and Japan, go back nearly two decades to a series of gigs with Toku, Onuma Yosuke, and Shun Ishiwaka in Osaka, Nagoya and Tokyo, Japan. Without piano or bass, the music will open to a wide and open harmonic and textural palet, while at the same time exploring unique approaches to the language guiding and shaping the improvisational framework and musical expression.
