A
live recording that brought the legendary playing style of Terumasa Hino before
he embarked on a national tour 1975. There are two original long tracks in
front of us, rhythmic embodiment in the thrilling " Mokko" and
"Into the Darkness," recorded in the " live -in-the-
concert," format.
A
searing performance from this brilliant Japanese trumpeter – working here at
the height of his stretched-out, open-ended powers – but with a style that's a
bit more inside than some of his work from the start of the 70s! Hino really
shows himself to be a great leader here – working with a group that includes
Hideo Miyata on tenor, Kiyoshi Sugimoto on guitar, and Fumio Itabashi on some
especially great Fender Rhodes and piano – a wonderful player who really gives
the album a solid grounding, which then allows the horn players to really soar!
Hino's really finding his voice here – growing into one of the best trumpet
talents of his generation – and this is his first volume of two, recorded at
Nemuro-Shi Kohmikan.

you find it, buy this album!
