Some words on this issue: SADAO WATANABE, CHARLIE MARIANO & OTHERS (MASAFUMI KIKUCHI; TOGASHI MASAHIKO & HARADA MASANAGA): “Iberian Waltz” (TAKT – JAZZ-7) Bloody rare original 1st issue with Takt Jazz Series obi present and in EX condition, which is nothing short of a miracle. Original 1967 pressing, only released in Japan. Hardly detected amazing spiritually free jazz recording that seems to have fallen of the map. Don’t let the names of the main participants fool you here because Sadao Watanabe and Charlie Mariano really get cooking and deliver a vigorous workout. Four improvisations figure here with Sadao and Mariano’s alto saxes runs and riffs proving to be an effective counterpart to Togashi’s unremitting polyrhythmic kit-work, Kikuchi’s tribal piano stomping as if he is playing on serpentined dampened strings and Harada’s throbbing bass dynamism. The whole of the music, breathing out heavy spiritual free undertones is characterized by unfaltering decisiveness and steering the whole towards a heady momentum. The whole outcome is terrifyingly exciting, cavernous and primeval, all leading up to a polyrhythmic climax. This recording is a turbulent essay in compelling perpetual motion and makes it as one of the most ear-shatteringly beautiful free improvisation discs to seep out of the land of the rising noise. Beautiful and very rare with Takt obi complete and present. Top copy.

New to the e-bay game but long experience in selling records so bid with confidence.

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.
