Takagi, Mototeru/susumu Kongo/nao Takeuchi/shota Koyama

Live At Little John, Yokohama 1999

The brilliance of Japanese saxophonist Masayoshi Takagi can be heard on this live performance at Little John, Yokohama 1999, which was released three years prior to his death. Joined by drummer Shota Koyama and younger wind players Susumu Kongo and Nao Takeuchi, this live recording captures the dynamic energy of free jazz at its best. With stunning interplay between tenor, alto, flute, and bass clarinet, the 40-minute opening piece offers standout moments, while 'Track Two' showcases an explosive build of multidirectional melodies. Takagi's mature artistry, rooted in the traditions of U.S. free jazz, shines through in this rare, previously unheard archival release.
