An album released in 1987 by Japan's renowned free jazz pianist Yosuke Yamashita, known for numerous anecdotes such as performing within barricades during the student movement era at Waseda University. This album features highly intriguing solo piano pieces where classical music by composers such as J.S. Bach, Antonin Dvorak, Frederic Chopin, and George Gershwin is interpreted through the lens of free jazz. Yamashita's distinctive rhythmic and imaginative improvisations elevate the music into something entirely new. Once again, his performance captivates the listener. Highly recommended.
