A tremendous live set from pianist Teru Sakamoto -- a session that soars with all of the life, soul, and imagination of McCoy Tyner at his 70s best! The record's got a feel that's quite open -- long tracks, with plenty of solo space for Sakamoto on the piano -- but the sound is always inside, rhythmic, and focused -- never too out or too experimental, just soaring up to the skies with a brilliant sense of expression. The trio features Takao Neichi on bass and Takeshi Watana
