Recorded live on 28-29 August 1970 at Hibiya Park, Tokyo. Released November 1970.

Ultra rare album that changes hands for over 700 euros these days, and that was gracefully ripped and sent to us by one of the usual visitors of our old blog.

This was a summer concert held in Hibiya Park in 1970 to celebrate the birth of the Japanese Jazz Association. Representatives were basically present. In 1970, in the summer evening, I heard such a high level of jazz in the parks of my city. Tokyo was an Asian pioneer. If it is said that when jazz music first emerged in Japan, there were obvious traces of exoticism, this concert is impressive.
