New Release- Orquesta Libre

This is a big year year for Orquesta Libre. We have tours, festivals and residencies to look forward to (watch this space for more information very soon!), not to mention 3 debut CD releases! As if the group hadn't decided to be prolific enough, we have kicked off proceedings with the online-only release of "Orquesta Libre with おおはた雄一 Plays Standards vol.1 -Live at PIT INN", a live recording of our gig at Shinjuku Pit Inn from Feb 5th. It's available for download from OTOTOY.
