Some words on this issue: TAKAYANAGI MASAYUKI: “Cool Jojo” (Three Blind Mice – TMB(P)-5018) (Record: Near Mint/ Jacket: Near Mint/ Insert: Near Mint). Top notch copy of this highly essential Takayanagi slide released in 1980. “When he was not shredding all preconceived notions of free improvisation with his Sonny Sharrock-meets-Albert Ayler collective, New Direction Unit, guitar legend 'Jojo' Takayanagi moonlighted in a quartet called Second Concept. As recorded in 1979 and exploring the boundaries of cool as established by Lennie Tristano and Lee Konitz (whose compositions here augment his own), Takayanagi is unleashed in astounding eruptions of melodic command, worlds apart from his more celebrated work. Or is it really? "An abstract painting of a painter who cannot sketch well is nonsense. It's the same thing in jazz. I find no value in the free jazz of a musician that doesn't swing in 4 beat and plays a dreary in-code ad lib. Avant-garde music or Free Form does not exist without a respect for the classic, and thus, it turned out to be a special album reflecting Jojo's sincerity."--Takeshi 'Tee' Fuji, producer. Highly essential as are all Takayanagi’s recordings and this one is no exception. Top notch copy!
