sleeve : VG+(some slightly stains.)
media : EX/EX(some slightly surface noises.)

Album released in 1977 by Japanese jazz pianist Kunihiko Sugano, who started playing in a trio with Isao Suzuki and George Otsuka in the early 1960s and recorded the classic album Blow Up with the aforementioned two and Takashi Mizuhashi (b) on Three Blind Mice in 1973. Recorded live in Date City, Hokkaido in 1976 as a trio with Osamu Kawakami (b) and Hiroshi Murakami (ds). The air from the venue was recorded to give a realistic impression, and standard numbers such as Luiz Bomfa's A1, which Isao Suzuki also covered, and Hammerstein-Kern's 1927 work B1 are performed with great expressiveness.
