[Leisure Children Live at Apple Jump] 9 November 2018 Lo Ersare - vocal, banjo Seiko Omori - piano Yuta Omino - bass Albert Karch - drums, percussion It was during the summer Jazzfestival in Copenhagen 2018 where these four musicians met together as a quartet for the first time, having only collaborated in separate smaller groups previously. Yuta Omino came to Denmark as a part of another project with Albert Karch and was accompanied by his colleague Seiko Oomori. Because Lo Ersare and Albert Karch has worked together as the duo ”Nenne” since 2016 it was only natural that the four of them would meet for a drink in the midst of the music festival. The four musicians had instant personal chemistry and since Karch and Ersare already planned to come to Japan in September they decided to do a collaboration. Not knowing if they had chemistry in music as well they had their first rehearsal in the Tokyo suburbs two month later, and it is safe to say it worked out more than well as they continued to play a number of successful concerts around Japan in autumn 2018. The Quartet is performing original songs mainly written by Lo Ersare while also including some Japanese songs and material made by Seiko Oomori for piano trio. Their sound lies in a playful intersection between minimalistic songwriting and colorful jazz harmonies, featuring the banjo and the melodica as two very defining instruments.
