タルヘタ・ロハ (ギタリスト林隆史)

Qui - Japanese Jazzrock Band -

QUI
A cool Canterbury taste jazz rock with flute

In 1994, three high school boys who were keen on listening to KING CRIMSON,
SOFT MACHINE, MILES DAVIS, JOHN COLTRANE, ete. got together forming Qui
after their graduation in Tokyo.

At the time, the members were Takashi
Hayashi (Guitar) who wrote most of the songs, and two persons.

The band were playing jazz-rock taste sound at live clubs
regularly till 2003.
Demo-recordings around the early days titled "Prelude"
were released from Vital Records, a division of POSEIDON Records.
In
"Prelude" three members played live at the studio, after that adding
Hayashi's synthesizer sound.
Then Hayashi is being a professional musician
but others were not able to continue playing for personal reasons.


In 2004, Hayashi reformed Qui with Seto (bass) and Yoshikawa (drums) who are
professional jazz musicians and rehearsed during the year then played live
again.
In 2006, Yoshida (flute) joined the band.

Unique Qui Sound is a mixture of Hayashi's progressive/Canterbury taste
guitar playing and other members' jazz/latin elements. Official debut CD
"Qui" released from POSEIDON/MUSEA in 2008.


Qui is the only progressive band who can play live from Tokyo to east area
of Japan regularly.
In fact, they play twice a month in Tokyo.
Qui's performance are always fascinate us with their cool technical instrumental
playing and aggressive improvisation.
