Joe HENDERSON - Sunrise In Tokyo 1971

Joe HENDERSON - Sunrise In Tokyo 1971

Jazz

An excellent album and one of Joe's strongest sets from the early 70s! The record features Joe working with a hip group of young Japanese players that includes Terumasa Hino on trumpet and Masabumi Kikuchi on piano and electric piano and the sextet format of the session stretches way past Joe's other Japanese recording from the time, which was issued in the US on Milestone. This one features very long tracks, with tremendous intensity from both the group and Joe, who's got a real edginess to his playing here. Includes a version of "So What", plus the originals "Sunrise In Tokyo" and "Get Magic Again".

Recorded at the Tokyo Toshi Center Hall, Tokyo, Japan, on August 5, 1971, the day after Henderson's appearance with Hideo Ichikawa (ep), Kunimitsu Inaba (b), Motohiko Hino (d) at the Junk Club, Tokyo, for the recording of 'Joe Henderson In Japan' on the Milestone label. This was officially released in Japan by Fontana/Phonogram (PAT 1064) as 'Joe Henderson And Kikuchi, Hino In Concert' and later reproduced on the European Jazz Door label (JD 12120) as 'Joe Henderson - Sunrise In Tokyo'.

ABACHAN blog in 1971 to Henderson to visit Japan and ticket, will be played with Japanese musicians, we are excited, it is also worth noting that, even if I do, playing at the time of this album I think not.
It's ABACHAN "Biwako Balei piedmont" is playing, here is a sunrise in Tokyo, Akira Akira Hino non-Japanese member of the trumpet is so different.

1 and 2 songs are songs played live unique smooth and played three songs at the free approach by each player, and play back the rhythm and tone that is different from Shang SHANSHAN no, I called the free , or, rather prosaically, is playing such a style, it is difficult playing with a unique atmosphere.
However, playing time is 19 minutes is a marathon, I mean well, so that the tension of playing in a slow, feeling that there is no longer. Well, I have the most listeners in response.
The record is not bad, but I do not know what the label, but also what is the record of Lake Biwa.
