About

They don’t call Kunihiko Sugano a piano magician for nothing. Because really, piano-centered jazz rarely works well for long, because it rarely holds your attention for long, because it loses its wind. One would argue that this is the case with many Dollar Brand records, and also with one of the most popular piano jazz albums of all time, Keith Garrett’s Köln Concert. Kunihiko Sugano has a congenial bass partner in Yoichi Kobayash. He grooves with the greatest juiciness, the healthiest fullness, he’s also so ready for it, just so ready. There is something lively and directly flowing from the divine into the mundane. Recorded live at Nihon Toshi Center Hall, Tokyo on March 22, 1974. — via Label
