About

The definitive live recording that captures the chaos and climax of jazz in Japan. Yusuke Ogawa of Universounds succinctly pointed out: "The jazz scene around 1970 is very interesting. The agony of hard bop, the rise of jazz-rock, and the emergence of free jazz. New music and values were born one after another and up-and-coming musicians ran at a speed that shook off the meter. This album Sensational Jazz '70 Vol. 1/2 is famous as a live sound source that contains this appearance and enthusiasm. Shibuya Public Hall on April 30, 1970. The three maestros of Jazz Rock such as Jiro Inagaki, Takeshi Inomata, and Akira Ishikawa have all stepped on the stage, free jazz musicians such as Mototeru Takagi and Itaru Oki have finally taken the stage, and the musicians who support the mainstream musicians such as Toshiyuki Miyama and Terumasa Hino have all stepped up." — via Label
