Cool Jojo was recorded from 3 to 5 December 1979 at Epicurus Studio in Tokyo under the direction of guitarist Masayuki Takayanagi. The album features the band ‘Second Concept,’ combining electric guitar, saxophone, keyboards, bass, and drums. The programme consists mainly of original compositions reflecting the band's electric jazz and experimental orientation in the late 1970s.

Having assimilated free jazz, Masayuki Takayanagi offers one answer to put an end to the turbulent 1970s. His homage to Lennie Tristano and Lee Konitz, a return to his roots, is a ritual to reach even greater heights in a new era. — (via Label)
