This is a Modern piece .

Seventh Avenue appears on the following albums:

Album	Shakuhachi	Koto	Shamisen
Tokyosphere  (Listen)	Neptune, John Kaizan
There are many rhythmic roads a piece can take, and as the title suggests, this one is paved with a meter of seven (4 + 3). When TOKYOSPHERE first rehearsed this piece, the result was so full of potholes that I did not think we would be able to use it for the recording. It is a great credit to these fine Japanese musicians that through a lot of hard work, they were able to patch up the rough spots and we were able to cruise through the piece and enjoy the scenery along the way.
