This is a Modern piece .

Jungle Trail appears on the following albums:

Album	Shakuhachi	Koto	Shamisen
Tokyosphere  (Listen)	Neptune, John Kaizan
No doubt with this instrumentation, this jungle is in the East. However, some of the voice-shakuhachi sounds used during the improvisation are influenced by African pygmy yodeling The strings on the two koto are muted with rubber tubing to give them a more percussive tone color The 20 shakuhachi (fundamental is middle C) is used here.
