Description
Tracklist

The saxophone master takes on modern jazz. This valuable, early, ambitious work blends his roots and talent.

This is a work in which Japan's leading saxophonist performs mainly his own compositions, actively incorporating elements of modern jazz, which was cutting edge at the time, to create an exciting performance.

The vivid sound image, clearly capturing the saxophone's tone while capturing the energy of the entire band, is based on hard bop but also blends avant-garde elements that hint at the beginnings of modal jazz and fusion. His saxophone playing is notable not only for its technique but also for its spirit of deeply exploring the themes of the songs. After its release, this album garnered high praise from Japanese jazz magazines and marked an important milestone in his career. The album features many long pieces, each centered around a theme followed by free improvisation by each player, allowing listeners to experience the true essence of jazz.
