A real treat, thanks.
Thanks amazing sound!!!!ALAN
thank you so much ... this is wonderful .. i've heard some of the other New Herd lps which are floating around as mp3's.. but not this , its spectacular... you can really hear a Gagaku , influence.
Gagaku - it never came to my mind.
While re-hearing it I'm understanding what you mean.
This is one of the best avant-jazz releases EVER. Not just one of the best Japanese sessions, not just one of the best 70s, one of the greatest of all time. If anyone wants the companion "Canto Of Libra" LP by New Herd (almost as good), it is available here - http://elreza.blogspot.com/2010/10/toshiyuki-miyama-new-herd-canto-of.html
What a sprawling giantess of a record! Many, many thanks for sharing. Had the pleasure of seeing Togashi playing live in Tokyo on a number of occasions and I will have to live many lifetimes to see a musician quite as intently indivisible from his music as he played. Great to hear the equally brilliant (but very different) free jazz drummer Sabu Toyozumi here too. Here's an extraordinary clip of him in full flight: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9vjRwrfVM78
Re-up please! (also for the rest of the non-rapidshare togashi links!)
