Tatsuya Nakamura's 1984 fusion masterpiece, now reissued for the first time. A dynamic septet session blending heavy samba, free jazz, and avant-garde textures. Featuring trumpet (Shinobu Fujimoto), bass (Hideto Kanai), guitar (Kazumasa Akiyama), keys (Jun Fukamachi), and percussion (Tatsuji Yokoyama). Recorded live at Audio Technica Hall, this Sea Horse Records gem captures Nakamura's vision as a bandleader and drummer, bridging his New York free jazz roots with Japanese fusion innovation. Essential listening for jazz collectors.
