Some words on this issue: MIYAMA TOSHIYUKI & NEW HERD ORCHESTRA (with SATO MASAHIKO): “Yotsu No Jazz Composition aka Four Jazz Compositions” (Toshiba – TP-9010) Complete copy with OBI!!!! One of the best Japanese free jazz improvisation records ever and all complete!!! Hideously rare 1970 free jazz big band squawk that is these days massively in demand. What a blast, free jazz based upon traditional/ classical Japanese themes, merging ancestral musical motives with modern-day improvisation, four compositions of which one by the hand of master Sato Masahiko but all executed with conviction and fire-breathing power by the Miyama Toshiyuki & the New Herd. The opening track by Sato Masahiko entitled “Mumyouju” balanced delicately on the razor’s edge between oriental almost Zen-like minimalism and volcanic orchestral tension that fuses mercurial interplay with enforced proportionate tension that swirls in and out of focus like a demented dervish. A perfect meltdown that gels a traditional aesthetic with a big band improvisational approach. Just breath-taxingly beautiful and setting the pace for the rest of the album to unfold itself upon. The second track “Shirabyoushi” by composer Takami Hiroshi takes the above-mentioned concept towards another level, more avant-garde in its execution without ever loosing the ever building up tension that spikes the orchestral interplay. It even has an almost early-seventies Miles Davis flavor seeping through at times, injecting a certain swing-like funky touch into it, making it lyrically intoxicating like the soundtrack to the 1st Dirty Harry movie while slowly descending in a spiral of stirringly flagellant Mahdi madness. The other two compositions “Ikisudama” by composer Maeda Norio and “Senshuuraku” by Yamamoto Kozaburo develop in a similar vein, walking the same tightrope bouncing in between classical Japanese themes and almost psychochemical interplay that is carefully executed as if the players were a bunch of ascetic monks injected with a hard bop virus while free-roaming the snowy flanks of Mount Fuji. This amazing record has been out of print since its first pressing in 1970. Very rare and hardly ever offered for sale, especially with obi and booklet intact.
