Some words on this issue: FOUR UNITS (SATO MASAHIKO/ TOGASHI MASAHIKO/ ARAKAWA YASUO & AKIRA MIYAZAWA): “Four Units” (Teichiku – Union Records – UPS-2008-J) Brilliant one-time-off Japanese jazz album that throws together 4 heavyweight players into one session group. Sato Masahiko & Togashi Masahiko are both well known I guess by subscribers of this list since both have played extensively with either Takayanagi Masayuki and other free players out of the early Japanese experimental jazz scene. Tenor blower Miyazawa Akira is known to most for his excellent albums “Iwana – Trout” and “Kiso”, both also vicious slabs of embryonic outlaw jazz, there where bassist Arakawa Yasuo was a regular sideman of Sato Masahiko’s Trio. So this disc is a gathering of four veterans. The quartet mutual draw on lifetimes of experience from modern jazz bands to ferocious underground free jazz improvisations and sends them of here working as a well-oiled unit, disciplined freedom punctuated by episodes of controlled anarchy. Miyazawa sounds wonderfully gnarled and pugnacious, Sato on piano precise and unpredictable, with the music’s initial urgency ebbing and flowing but the overall sonic animated tension remaining constant. In all, the collective vigor that pulses through this deliriously played LP and paced set is nothing short from exhilarating. Just fantastic, original 1st issue in top condition
SHIPPING IS FROM JAPAN AND IS NOT 4$ - CHECK SHIPPING RATES STATED ABOVE & HERE BELOW!!!

Our grading scale: Mint/ Near Mint/ Excellent/ VG++/. We don’t sell anything below VG++. VG++ grade is basically that the record has some scuffs and has wear. Excellent: record has hardly no visible defects and is preserved with care and attention, the condition most collectors take pride in to file away. Near Mint: a dash below mint, just perfect. Mint: like new.
