Description

Intersecting sharpness and passion. An innovative work born from the collision of two rare and extraordinary personalities.
On one side was Hiroshi Suzuki, a trombonist in such demand that people said, “If you want to record a good work, secure his schedule.” On the other was Masahiko Togashi, a drummer who rose to prominence at a young age and dominated the jazz world, from modern jazz to free jazz. The collision of these two personalities and talents created a new current in the Japanese jazz scene. From ''Castle Cats,'' which moves between jazz rock and free jazz, to ''Suzu No Uta,'' where Yuji Ohno’s piano spins a beautiful melody amid the sound of bells falling like rain, and ''Passion,'' where each musician cuts in with sharp intensity, the entire work is filled with creativity and passion. Recorded in 1969, this is said to be the first work in Japan in which new jazz to free jazz was recorded and released as an album. From this turning point, Japanese jazz began to move in a major way.
