Hozan Yamamoto
[Ginkai II] Mugen no Fu
Philips (Japan) 1980
FS-7031 (LP) obi (slight stain on back), insert
sleeve : VG+(SPSE/TOC: 5cm tear on top edge/tape repair)
media : EX/EX (slight surface noise in places)
A masterpiece album released in 1980 by shakuhachi player Hozan Yamamoto, who left a great legacy through his contemporary activities in addition to traditional performing arts. This work was recorded in 1979 with Masahiko Togashi, a great Japanese drummer/percussionist who continued his musical activities even after suffering a spinal cord injury and paralysis of the lower body, developing his own unique playing style, and Masahiko Satoh, a leading Japanese jazz pianist who has been active on the front lines since his debut album "Palladium" in 1969. As the second installment of the historical masterpiece "Ginkai" released in 1971, Hozan Yamamoto himself desired to collaborate with the two, and although it is a joint composition by the three, it is almost entirely free improvisation, creating an ultimate album that unfolds as very organic ethno-spiritual jazz boldly expressing the mystery of nature, which can be called the original landscape of the Japanese. It is wonderful.
