Itabashi Fumio, que refinou a sua arte ao piano com Sadao Watanabe, Terumasa Hino, e Takeo Moriyama, lançou o seu primeiro álbum Toh em 1976. Todas as faixas do disco são composições originais e quanto mais o ouvimos mais se torna óbvio que estamos perante uma obra-prima. A tocar com Okada Tsutomu (Baixo) and Kusumoto Takuji (Bateria), este Trio era realmente especial.

Sublime 70s work from pianist Fumio Itabashi, easily one of our favorite Japanese talents of the time – a pianist with a wonderful sense of rhythm and freedom at the same time – very much on display on this beautiful record! The tracks are long and flowing – full of feeling, and as lyrical at times as they are rhythmic – set up with perfect trio accompaniment that features Tsutomu Okada on bass and Takuji Kusimoto on drums – working with Fumio in this special sort of magic that's a bit hard to put in words, but which really demonstrates on record why this moment in Japanese jazz was such a special time! Ties include "TOH", "Alligator Dance", and "Goodbye".
