Steve Jansen Live In Japan 2006

During late September 06 Steve played some selected dates in Japan (Tokyo and Osaka) with singer Tim Elsenburg (aka Sweet Billy Pilgrim front man). The music featured was mostly from Steve's forthcoming solo album which includes Tim's vocals along with those of Anja Garbarek and David Sylvian among others. The Nine Horses song 'Get The Hell Out' (which on record features Sylvian's vocals) was also featured with Tim performing lead vocals and Steve providing harmony vocals. The back projections were by inspired VJ Shoko Ise from Kobe, Japan.

Following Steve's performance was Yukihiro Takahashi's own set. Steve joined Yukihiro onstage for their co-written title 'In The Life' as well as for two encore numbers.

Steve and Yukihiro went on to perform two semi-imrpovised shows in early October 06 at the ICC Tokyo and Sendai Mediatheque. Both performances included new material written specifically for the show. Shoko Ise also provided all new back projections for these two events.

Finally, on the 8th October Steve and Yukihiro performed together at the Sonarsound Festival in Tokyo.
