Some words on this issue: MURAOKA MINORU with NEW DIMENSION GROUP: “Osorezan Suite” (Yupiteru Records – YJ25-70005) Together with his “Bamboo” LP, one of the best and greatest discs to seep out Muraoka’s creative genius. Copies with obi, all in mint condition like this one here…do not surface at all. The whole affair was recorded live in concert on April 7, 1970 at the Asahi Seimei Hall. Surrounded by ace musicians such as Ishikawa Akira (drums), Sadanori Nakamure (guitar), Masako Hirayama (Biwa), Kayoko Ishu (scat vocals), Yusuke Hoguchi (organ) amongst others. The whole affair was recorded live in one take in concert and brings forth a soulful spaciousness that converts jazz & Japanese traditional music aesthetics detached from their antiquity into one grooving rigorous and clear-eyed pleasure. You just sense that all of the participating musicians having a lot of fun, creating music that is episodic and stylistically varied. The opening track “Osorezan” is driven by Muraoka’s shakuhachi tones, Ishikawa Akira delivers surreal ethnic groove percussion licks and the erupting horns, ethereal female whispering vocals, wadaiko, koto, wicked organ licks and vibraphone career wildly in and out of the hypnotic groove. The whole of the record spins off in a similar deeply spellbinding avant-funk, combining elements of traditional Japanese music with fierce grooving funk moves and cool abstraction, even rethinking “Bamboo Rock” by tackling it in an amazing Nipponized version. The loose and fresh energy spilling from its grooves – ignited by the live on the spot recording – link up with various aspects of mini-crescendos that will ignite a sustained euphoria that occasionally will erupt in whooping butt-shaking moves in front of your stereo.
