Has there ever been such a thrilling and beautiful soundtrack? This is the pinnacle of cine-jazz, created by the master Norio Maeda.
The film "3000 Kilometer Trap" was released in 1971. Produced and starring Tamiya Jiro and directed by Fukuda Jun, it is a suspenseful action film starring a Mitsubishi Galant GTO, as its tagline states, "A sports car that cuts Japan from Kagoshima to Hokkaido."
This road movie is often compared to the American New Cinema masterpiece "Vanishing Point." The music was composed by the master director Norio Maeda. The piano takes graceful turns, the vibraphone surges through, the bass gallops powerfully, and the drums shift into high gear. Vibrancy and silence, obsession and desire, joy and sorrow. The thrilling performance and beautiful melodies bring out the film's full potential. It's an extraordinary quality, not only as a soundtrack, but also for "Japanese jazz" in 1971. Such a performance. It's unfortunate that the exact personnel are unknown, but there have long been rumors of a connection to Sound Limited (or The Third), led by Takeshi Inomata.
