During the late 50s and 60s Takeshi Tak Shindo (1922-2002) was one of Hollywood s busiest young musicians, amassing an impressive list of arranging and composing credits in film and TV. He worked with some of the finest jazz talents around, including, as he does here, the Candoli brothers, Conte and Pete, Shelly Manne, Ted Nash, Bud Shank and arranger Bill Holman.
He was also one of the most prominent artists in the flourishing exotica style of music, anticipating, in a sense, jazz music s current interest in world music and unusual instruments. In these two sparkling Capitol albums, Brass and Bamboo (1959) and Accent on Bamboo (1960), he offered a new and refreshing musical concept, combining the exotic sounds of ancient Japanese instruments with dynamic big-band orchestrations. Focusing, except for three Shindo originals, on standards, the music is full of thrilling effects, with all arrangements by Tak, except for three scored by Bill Holman.
In this fascinating blend of two musical cultures each piece is cleverly oriented by Tak Shindo to forge a dynamic, intelligent fusion of sounds and ideas that produced a singularly fine collection of brilliant, swinging dance arrangements.
