Tadao Sawai, Kazue Sawai, Takeshi Inomata, Norio Maeda, Hozan Yamamoto – Jazz Rock 1973 (RCA)

Label : RCA

Value :

A killer set of jazz rock from early 70s Japan and a set that's way different than Anglo albums of this nature! There's definitely a mix of horns, jazzy soloing, and electrified elements on guitar, bass, and keyboards but the themes here are often strongly Japanese, and also feature work on a variety of traditional instruments including koto and shakuhachi, all served up with a very cool sound throughout the set! Players are a who's who of some of the more creative Japanese jazz musicians of the time a lineup that includes Hozan Yamamoto, Takeshi Inomata, Tadao sawai, Sadanori Nakamure, Tatsuro Takimoto, and Kazue Sawai and the record's got a number of elements that make it resonate with some of Hozan's coolest work from the period.
