Some words on this issue: TAKAGI MOTOTERU & KAKO TAKASHI QUARTET: “Jazz a Maison De Japon, Paris” (Nadja – PA-6020) Another Japanese free jazz classic by one of the greatest sax howlers of all time being Takagi Mototeru. He was possibly the sole player to be able to strangle the hell out of his instrument without choking himself to death, which is how intense his approach to the sax was. A total underappreciated player, Takagi brought an impassioned blend of lyricism and abstraction to his encounters as this disc will show you. Recorded in Paris on April, 26th 1974, Takagi almost hits supersonic heights when he collides with fellow players who were for this occasion Kako Takashi on piano, Kent Carter – bass & cello and Ron Pittner – drums and percussion. Takagi is in stellar form throughout the disc and straight from the opening on he comes on like a wailing desert hyena in heat. His clarinet and soprano playing are just intense, emotionally charged, yet deeply moving and seismic in their execution. The rest of the group just models their playing around Takagi’s twists and turns and deliver the perfect companionship to his lonesome sound. Tension builds up like heat seeking missiles locking on to their target, the quartet moves like a four-headed medusa into one single direction, lyrical and deeply emotional at times while erupting on a Vesuvian scale on others. In all it just showcases what a talent Takagi was and why he was the ultimate free-howling master in my book.
