SXL Live in Japan is a live performance album by world music and jazz fusion ensemble SXL, released in 1987 by CBS/Sony Japan.[1] For the first half of the album, the group performs separately from one another. Musicians Aïyb Dieng, Ronald Shannon Jackson, Bill Laswell and L. Shankar perform on "Arambam", a variation on the processional pattern on SamulNori's debut piece "Uttari kut". "Clouds, Wind, Rain, Thunder and Lightning" was played by SamulNori and included an extended sequence taken from their piece "Samdo nongak".[2]
