A definite flute adventure from Japanese reedman Toshiaki Yokota, one that's got some wonderfully trippy elements. Yokota plays a variety of flutes, and he's backed by electric guitar, bass, and plenty of percussion, often used in rootsy and rhythmic ways that make for plenty of great groovers on the set.

A definite flute adventure from Japanese reedman Toshiaki Yokota – one that's got some wonderfully trippy elements, in the best spirit of some of the most groundbreaking MPS sessions at the end of the 60s!

Yokota plays a variety of flutes, and he's backed by electric guitar, bass, and plenty of percussion – often used in rootsy and rhythmic ways that make for plenty of great groovers on the set. There's a bit of a Latin influence at the bottom, but not in Toshiaki's playing – because that's often light and airy, floating over the top of the heavier rhythms with a great sense of counterpoint – making for a really great contrast of modes! Music on a few tracks is by The Beat Generation combo, and the album also features some great bossa covers too.
