Value :
Part of a great move forward for Japanese drummer George Otsuka in the
70s – a player who'd really made some great waves with his trio material
at the end of the 60s, but who found a way deepen his groove with a
larger group on records like this – really standing out as one of the
most spiritual players on his scene at the time! The players are all in
Japanese, so we can't tell you their names – but the quintet feature an
excellent reedman who blows both soprano sax and tenor, a deep-voiced
trumpeter, and a pianist who also serves up a fair bit of Fender Rhodes
too – both elements used in a really strong way over these long tracks
on the set, which have a similar blend of soul and spirit as the best
Japanese Columbia jazz sessions of the time.
