Some words on this issue: YAMAMOTO HOZAN: “Take – Yamamoto Hozan Shakuhachi Sakuhinshu” (RCA – JRZ-2548~49). Stunning 2 LP set of austere bamboo flute recordings by Yamamoto Hozan. Only shakuhachi and other bamboo flutes pass the revue and right from the beginning the tone is set as Yamamoto drifts into some stripped-to-the-bare-minimum approach that slips gently into focus of images from Zen gardens, half-remembered dreams and desolate dense words. Much of the music is tender and forlorn, as sensuous and evocative as the cover photograph but at times it can get quite harsh as well with Yamamoto blowing his guts out. But even then the music never gets crowded. The focus is tight and close up sound make that the whole affair opens up when playing like a stormy vista of dark clouds, the ominous atmospherics alternating with hovering & shifting drones. Quite a compelling recording that leaves you begging for more once you get through it. Top condition and complete with always missing obi.
