Yosuke Yamashita Trio ‎– Concert In New Jazz - ぐがん [Gugan] 1969

feat. thread favorite takeo moriyama on drums

Nice revive! Picked up a few of Yamashita's albums - really cool. Also, kinda hard to find English info for for some of his stuff.

On that subject, I never did find anything more about the Live Jazz album, budo jeru. All good,

Been into selected albums by Akira Sakata and Masahiko Togashi in a big way lately. The latter's "Spiritual Nature" is a good, cheap entry point if you're coming at things from a Japanese ambient/environmental music kinda angle (though it gets noisy in parts).

My copy of that "Free Jazz in Japan" book just arrived. Stoked! Thanks for the tip off from way back, budo jeru!

awesome, you're quite welcome !
