Some words on this issue: TAKAYANAGI MASAYUKI: “Free Form Suite” (Three Blind Mice TBM-10 – PAP-20038) Seminal and all time great Takayanagi disc. First original pressing! “Recorded in 1972 and originally released on the Three Blind Mice label, Free Form Suite is the only record released under the Takayanagi/New Direction For The Arts moniker and features the fine lineup of future New Direction Unit regulars Kenji Mori on reeds and Hiroshi Yamazaki on drums, with Joe Mizuki - who would, with the formation of the New Direction Unit in 1975, be replaced on drums by Hiroshi Yamazaki. Great tracks are 'Sun In The East', on which Mori fanning Coltrane-esque soprano over a quasi-exotic late '60s P Sanders-y flight of fancy, all tropical melody and rollicking momentum. Leaving only the three movements of the title track; Takayanagi is picking up his guitar, plugging it into an amplifier, and actually playing it; the third is, finally, the quartet noise-blast the whole record's been leading up to, with the two percussionists kicking in to impressively intense effect. Overall another piece in the Takayanagi riddle for sure”-Nick Cain. Stunningly great disc and a must for anyone into free blowing hardcore jazz. Getting quite scarce.
