Does anyone know or performed the pieces by Japanese composers besides Ryo Noda and Yoshimatsu?

Maki Ishii's [I]Alternation I[/I] for alto saxophone and marimba is an interesting work. Ishii is relatively well-known among percussionists.

Akira Yuyama has also written a piece for sax and marimba called "Divertimento." There's a good recording of it with John Harle and Evelyn Glennie - I think it's on one of her discs, though I can't remember which one. There's also Yasuhide Ito who wrote a concerto for sax and band which I hope to play in the near future. Also, "Night Bird" by Karen Tanaka is good ... but really hard!
