Sensational Jazz '70 Vol.1/2 Japanese Import 2LP

The definitive live recording that captures the chaos and climax of jazz in Japan.

"Japan's jazz scene around 1970 is very interesting. The agony of hard bop, the rise of jazz-rock, and the emergence of free jazz. New music and values were born one after another, and chaos was reached, and up-and-coming musicians ran at a speed that shook off the meter. This album 'Sensational Jazz '70 Vol. 1/2' is famous as a live sound source that contains this appearance and enthusiasm. Shibuya Public Hall on April 30, 1970. The Three Musketeers of Jazz Rock such as Jiro Inagaki, Takeshi Inomata, and Akira Ishikawa have all stepped on the stage, free jazz musicians such as Mototeru Takagi and Itaru Oki have finally taken the stage, and musicians who support the mainstream such as Toshiyuki Miyama and Terumasa Hino have stepped 'beyond'. Led by the sound limited 'Mustache', which is said to be the deadliest jazz rock live recording, there are hot performances that make smoke rise." - Yusuke Ogawa (Universounds / Deep Jazz Reality)
