Album released in 1986 by Japanese pianist Fumio Karashima, who made his debut as a member of the George Otsuka Group, joined The Elvin Jones Jazz Machine and later formed his own group, as well as leaving many masterpieces as a solo artist. It features piano solos based entirely on his own scores. It is a very wonderful work with a melodic inflection that is full of emotion and emotionally charged, without the need for jazz adjectives, and was recorded in very transparent sound quality by Ono Seigen in his Super Studio days. The artwork is also excellent.
