Description

From J-DIGS, a project that shares Nippon Columbia's catalog with the world, six Japanese jazz masterpieces are reissued on vinyl. Cutting-edge spirit and passion intersect. An innovative work born from the collision of two rare talents. One was Hiroshi Suzuki, a trombonist so in demand that people said, "If you want to record something good, secure his schedule." The other was Masahiko Togashi, a drummer who emerged at a young age and was sweeping the jazz world, from modern jazz to free jazz. The collision of these two personalities and talents created a new current in Japan's jazz scene. The entire work is filled with creativity and passion, including "Castle Cats", which moves between jazz rock and free jazz, "Suzu no Uta", in which Yuji Ohno's piano weaves a beautiful melody amid bell sounds pouring down like rain, and "Passion", in which each musician cuts in with sharp intensity. Released in 1969, this work is said to be the first in Japan to record and present new jazz to free jazz as a full-fledged release. From this turning point, Japanese jazz began to change dramatically. Delivery of this product will be on or after the release date.

日本コロムビアのカタログを世界に発信するプロジェクトJ-DIGSから、和ジャズ名盤6タイトルをアナログ・リイシュー ■交錯する先鋭と熱情。類稀なるふたつの個性の衝突が生んだ革新的作品。片や「良い作品を録音したかったらあいつのスケジュールを押さえろ」と言われた、まさに引っ張りだこで活躍したトロンボーン奏者、鈴木弘。片や若くして頭角を現し、モダンジャズからフリージャズまでジャズ界を席巻していたドラマー、富樫雅彦。ふたつの個性と才能の衝突は、日本のジャズ・シーンに新たな潮流を生み出した。ジャズロックとフリージャズを行き来する「キャッスル・キャッツ」、雨のように降りしきる鈴の音のなか大野雄二のピアノが美しい旋律を紡ぐ「鈴の歌」、各ミュージシャンが鋭角に切り込んでゆく「パッション」など、全編が創意と熱情に満ちている。1969年、日本ではじめてニュージャズ~フリージャズが録音/作品化されたとされる本作。ここを潮目に日本のジャズは大きく動いた。 ※本商品のお届けは発売日当日以降になります。
