DVD: Taik Oz: Live At Angel Place

TaikOz was formed in 1997 by taiko player/percussionist Ian Cleworth and shakuhachi daishihan, grand master Riley Lee. The group has established itself as one of Australia's most energetic, exciting and visually stunning drumming groups. Combining the awesome power of the traditional Japanese taiko with the ethereal tones of the bamboo shakuhachi, TaikOz seeks to explore a synthesis of East and West, old and new. This performance, recorded live at the City Recital Hall, Angel Place, Sydney in May 2003, highlights the true talents of one of Australia's most dynamic groups of the 21st century. DVD extras include: * A documentary on Taiko drumming workshops * Extensive program notes for each track * Musician biographies * About TaikOz * About taiko drums * Photo gallery * About New World Music
