Two enthusiastic DeBaser reviews praise Shibusa Shirazu Orchestra's explosive, theatrical live shows led by conductor Daisuke Fuwa. The ensemble is described as a large, variable collective (15–40+) combining music, dance, butoh and visual spectacle. Reviews focus on two Sant'Anna Arresi festival concerts where the group's genre-blending improvisations and theatricality overwhelmed audiences. The coverage highlights instrumentation (theremin, tuba, grand piano, double bass, percussion) and a visceral mix of free-jazz, klezmer, funk, Balkan, rock and Japan-folk.

For:Fans of experimental and avant-garde jazz, large ensemble performances, theatrical/live music, and world/folk fusion.

 The sparkling,clattering,multiform, I dare say multigrade, Orchestra Shibusa Shirazu (for those who were not aware) is a phenomenal artistic agglomeration (not just musical) at 370° which all-encompasses inside its agitated and devised interior a bit of everything (not only Japanese): besides the classic busload of potentially, massively and programmatically unruly musicians (15/20/30 today it depends on the occasion/space available) the smoky Mr. Daisuke Fuwa (conductor of insane dances & amusing parades) holds together, at times really with difficulty, a large and layered group of mind-boggling agitators/vocalists/panhandlers/actors/dancers/healthy-banana-carriers [with & without frills] and so forth, constituting a colorful and calamitous potpourri both from the purely musical point-of-view and visually speaking, almost spectacular.
