First analog reissue of Masayuki Takayanagi's modern jazz works based on the Tristano-Konitz technique! Extremely rare modern jazz work originally recorded in 1970! "Although Takayanagi was already devoted to free jazz at this time, this work is a modern jazz piece based on the Tristano-Konitz technique. Familiar numbers are transformed into Takayanagi's unique sense of time, and then pass through Takeshi Shibuya's filter. The sound thus unleashed seems to wander softly through time and space." - Kouki Hanawa (Craftman Records)
A Jazzy Profile of Jojo is composed of jazz standards masterpieces interpreted by Masayuki Takayanagi. It was recorded in March 1970 immediately after the start of the New Direction (1969). Legendary recordings with Kaoru Abe such as "Dismantling Sympathy" were also performed in the same period. Considering this, "A Jazzy Profile of Jojo" can be defined as a representative recording of Takayanagi's jazz style at a time when the transition from the more established forms of jazz to the exploration methods of free jazz was taking place. While songs like "Prelude In Chords" and "Prelude No.4, Op.16" are played almost according to the musical score, other tracks are dominated by the free form of Takayanagi's musical expression. Hiroshi Yamazaki's drums enhance the unique charm of this recording giving a powerful dynamism to the rhythm section.
