ジャズ・ベーシスト鈴木勲が1973年に発表した日本ジャズ史上に残る名盤のひとつ。黒いフィーリングで弾きまくる鈴木勲のベース・プレイは圧巻。カルテット曲ではツイン・ベースとして水橋孝が参加している。

Walter Theodore "Sonny" Rollins is an American jazz tenor saxophonist who is widely recognized as one of the most important and influential jazz musicians. In a seven-decade career, he has recorded over sixty albums as a leader.

吉姆·豪爾是一名美國爵士吉他手，作曲家和編曲家。《Premier Guitar》雜誌中曾寫道：「或許可以這樣講，爵士吉他的大樹植根於這四個名字：強戈·賴因哈特、查理·克里斯蒂安、韋斯·蒙哥馬利和吉姆·豪爾。」

Pianists Chick Corea and Stefano Bollani can both play a lot of notes fast and have occasional tendencies to grandstand. But if they’re all over each other in the early stages of this Italian concert, later we hear the mutual understanding and assured rhythmic their time together since 2009 has nurtured. A prancing, marching stride-piano feel follows rhapsodic, gradually intensifying Jobim explorations early on. Fats Waller’s Jitterbug Waltz juggles time-patterns, trills, stabs and swing. Bollani’s A Valsa da Paula is quite abstract, and Tirititran develops from handclapping and drumming on the piano through tinkling, stop-start free improv to relaxed traditional grooving that recalls old-time pianists such as Erroll Garner.

Bassist Takashi Mizuhashi made a stunning debut from the Three Blind Mice label with this live recording with the first regular group he formed as a leader. His quartet consisted of young and competent players who would late become giants in the Japanese jazz scene.
This incredibly well-recorded live album contains only three tunes, each exceeding 11 minutes in length. The opener is a huge R&B hit, "When A Man Loves A Woman," featuring the soulful alto saxophone of Yoshio Otomo. "So What" begins with more than three minutes of free improvisation before the band attacks the tune at a break-neck speed.
The third tune--covering the entire Side B of the original album at 18:26--is Stanley Turrentine's famous "Sugar," and for this tune the quartet is augmented by two powerful guests, Seiichi Nakamura on tenor sax and Shigeharu Mukai on trombone. This is an exciting live album recorded with stunning fidelity!

Fuchsia Swing Song is the debut album by Americ an saxophonist Sam Rivers recorded in 1964 and released on the Blue Note label. The album was reissued on CD in 1995, and again in 2003 as part of the "Connoisseur Series" (limited edition series) including four alternate takes as bonus tracks.
The Allmusic review by Thom Jurek awarded the album 4½ stars and stated "By the time of his debut, Rivers had been deep under the influence of John Coltrane and Ornette Coleman, but wasn't willing to give up the blues just yet. Hence the sound on Fuchsia Swing Song is one of an artist who is at once very self-assured, and in transition... This is a highly recommended date. Rivers never played quite like this again".

Born in Tochigi, Japan. Fumio started playing jazz while studying at the prestigious Kunitachi College of Music. Made his professional debut as a member of the Sadao Watanabe Quintet in 1971 and then joined Terumasa Hino Quintet and Takeo Moriyama Quartet while his own trio released a number of albums during the 70s. Was a member of the Elvin Jones Jazz Machine World Tour from 1985 to 1987 including other international artists gaining him global fame. In 1991, Fumio joined the Ray Anderson's album "Wishbon" and made an appearance in the Village Vangard in New York before touring North America with them. Set up his own label [Mix Dynamite] and his own "Mix Dynamite Unit" in 1993 starting to play with artists from different genres of music. Made an appearance in the Knitting Factory's New York Jazz Festival in 1997 as the first Japanese artist. In 1999 Fumio joined Christopher Doyle's Hong Kong film "Away with words" as a music director/composer and released the sound track. With funding from the Japan Foundation Fumio toured in Brasil, Kenya, and the Seychelles with his trio and published the photo essay "Jambo! Obrigado!" along with 2 live albums from the tour in 2001. The "Giriyama Dance Troup" which played with the trio in Kenya was invited in Japan in 2003 to play along with the trio in the Japan's biggest Jazz Festival and sent an audience of over 1000 frantic.

A lost album of originals by John Coltrane, the American saxophonist who took jazz to new heights of freedom and expression, has been unearthed.
The album, being released on 29 June as Both Directions at Once: the Lost Album, was recorded in a session on 6 March 1963, at the Van Gelder studios in New Jersey. Joining Coltrane in the quartet that also recorded classic albums such as A Love Supreme, Coltrane, and Ballads, are Jimmy Garrison on double bass, Elvin Jones on drums, and McCoy Tyner on piano.
The master tape left in the studio was lost, and it’s likely it was destroyed in the early 70s when the label, Impulse!, was trying to reduce storage fees. But Coltrane gave his own reference tape of the recording to his wife Naima, despite their then disintegrating relationship – the pair divorced in 1966, and the tape has stayed in her family’s possession ever since.

Recorded：December 9, 1964
