Takuya Nakamura doesn’t just play music – he rearranges your sense of rhythm. The Tokyo-born musician has been bending genres since the ‘90s, fusing the unpredictability of jazz with the electricity of New York’s underground. A former student of the late George Russell, Takuya’s style is all experimentation and instinct, as if brass and beats were born to coexist. This weekend he lands in Bangkok for a one-night takeover at Siwilai Radical Club, joined by DJ Dragon and Goddam. Expect the unexpected – improvisations that twist from smokey jazz lines to restless electronic swells. For one night, Bangkok trades its neon gloss for a downtown basement vibe, where the saxophone and synth finally find common ground.
October 9. B400-600 via here and B800 at the door. Siwilai Radical Club, 9pm onwards
