<p class="faq-quote">"Intersecting sharpness and passion. An innovative work born from the collision of two rare and extraordinary talents. On one side was <a href="https://www.turntablelab.com/search?options%5Bprefix%5D=last&amp;q=Hiroshi+Suzuki" target="_blank">Hiroshi Suzuki</a>, a trombonist in such demand that people said, 'If you want to record a good work, secure his schedule.' On the other hand 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 and free jazz were recorded and released as an album. From this turning point, Japanese jazz began to move in a major way." - Nipponophone</p> <ul> <li>clear colored vinyl (<span style="text-decoration: underline;">please note</span>: actual pressing color and packaging may differ from mock-up photo)</li> <li>high quality Japanese import</li> <li>limited edition</li> <li>original release year: 1969</li> <li>music label: Nipponophone 2026</li> </ul> <!---PREORDER START---> <div class="preorder-module"> <h2 class="preorder"><a name="preorderpolicy">Pre-Order Policy</a></h2> <ul> <li>If you want to order additional items (<b>including other pre-orders</b>), please make separate orders.
