Apologies for the earlier confusion. “Daikanjyo” (大勘定), released in 2002, is a Japanese jazz album featuring Kan Mikami (vocals, guitar), Shoji Aketagawa (piano, ocarina), and Toshiaki Ishizuka (drums). The album was recorded live at Aketa No Mise, Nishiogikubo, Tokyo, on July 25, 2001.
The performances on “Daikanjyo” are characterized by free improvisation, blending elements of jazz, folk, and avant-garde music. This improvisational approach aligns with Deleuze and Guattari’s concept of the refrain, where established musical motifs (territories) are deconstructed and reassembled through spontaneous creation (deterritorialization and reterritorialization). In this context, the album exemplifies freedom by continuously redefining musical boundaries, much like the philosophical ideas discussed earlier.
For a direct experience of this improvisational freedom, you can listen to the full album here:
