Conceived in 2003, the duo has performed widely in Japan and is known for their annual tours - Sakura Zensen (cherry blossom) and Momiji-Gari (fall colors) - as well as their work in support of those affected by the 2011 earthquake and nuclear disaster in Tohoku, especially in the revitalization of Fukushima prefecture.Curtis Patterson and Bruce Huebner are forging a new path for the koto and shakuhachi, creating an honest and fresh sound that defies expectations. Drawing on over forty years of study, performance, and teaching in Japan, they present a repertoire that seamlessly stretches from classical honkyoku and jiuta to jazz, featuring new works and fresh arrangements along with well known koto/shakuhachi standards.At times improvisational, their music flows freely, deeply rooted in the past while attuned to the present. It offers a compelling, modern outlook for these ancient instruments—sometimes evoking the mountains and rivers of Japan, and at other times offering a simple reflection on daily life.RecordingsCurt & Bruce - Orcas Takes (album)Kataku no Hana - originalAfter the Rain - jazz arrangementJougen no Kyoku - modern koto/shakuhachiSong of the Plovers - traditionalVideosCurt ＆ Bruce - Homecoming - Orcas TakesCurt & Bruce.IntroductionBruce Huebner (shakuhachi)Japan-based Californian Bruce Huebner is a globally recognized master of the shakuhachi with a career spanning over four decades.
