Label: MUSEA
ALBUM REVIEW
QUI is the brainchild of Japanese guitarist Takashi HAYASHI, who assembled an instrumental jazz-rock fusion band with Progressive rock leanings. The trio included, guitar, bass, drums and some keyboards parts. After having released a first album, Prelude, in the year 2006, the band completely changed. It's now a five-piece band, including flute, percussions and saxophone on one track. Released in common by the Musea and Poseidon labels, the self-titled album (2008) begins gently with quiet and atmospheric passages, not unlike Allan HOLDSWORTH's, and ends up in some kind of free-jazz spirit. But all in all, QUI shows a true personality, and that's difficult to link its music with someone else's. (Musea)
