Rooster_Ties Posted June 7, 2012 Report Share Posted June 7, 2012 (edited) Audio-only clips from Youtube, I'm afraid. (Oh, to see video footage, but the audio is amazing enough!) First the JAZZ one, a really forward-thinking take on Jimmy Heath's "The Time And The Place" -- but notice the almost "surf"-like guitar right in there with the groove!! And I love the flute that flies in over everything now and again, which I get the impression (from photographs) was played by the lead singer of the Blue Comets. And then some SOUL with a FREE JAZZ bent, this take on Otis Redding's "I Can't Turn You Loose". Simply amazing "free-jazz"-leaning solos from the tenor-player in Hino's group (at 3:15), and then Hino (at 4:00). Just listen... Surely they're from the same source. Have these cuts been released anywhere?? Hard to tell with all the Japanese (and lack of English) in the Youtube descriptions. I would LOVE to find a copy of this, any ideas??

Rooster_Ties Posted June 7, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 7, 2012 (edited) If anything, this third clip (from a different Youtube user) is just as amazing as the last one above... Who's on tenor? Who's on guitar? WHAT A PERFORMANCE!! Has this ever been released??? Checking out the other clips from this user, there's plenty of others of interest, for instance...

Rooster_Ties Posted June 7, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 7, 2012 Wow, I had no idea Shunzo Ohno could play like this. (I think even heard him once, or maybe I was dreaming -- Spontooneous, was Ohno on a Buster Williams gig at the Folly many years ago, late 90's?) In any case, enjoy... At least this one is from a real release (or one that I can try and track down). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rostasi Posted June 7, 2012 Report Share Posted June 7, 2012 (edited) Great, great stuff! The first two (Hino w/The Blue Comets) are from the Seaside Jazz Festival, in Chigasaki on July 14, 1969. The lineup on the Freedom Jazz Dance track is: Terumasa Hino, trumpet Ken Muraoka, tenor Sadao Watanabe, alto Yoshiaki Masuo, guitar Masaaki Kikuchi, elec. piano Kunimitsu Inaba, bass Motohiko Hino, drums and it's from a concert given at Shinjuku Tokyo Welfare Pension Hall on May 29, 1971 The next vid shows actor, best selling author and, of course, Cecil Taylor-influenced piano player Yosuke Yamashita's Trio with Seiichi Nakamura, tenor Takeo Moriyama, drums The piece is called "Keiko-tan" and is from a long OOP double disc. It's live at the 1970 Nemu Jazz Festival. Yamashita's Trio LPs are worth a good search. The VERY fine Shunzo Ohno is the first cut from the LP "Falter Out." Definitely worth getting if you can find it for under 50 bucks. Also, look for his album "Something's Coming" too! ®ø∂ Edited June 7, 2012 by rostasi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rooster_Ties Posted June 7, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 7, 2012 Many, many thanks!! - for what I presume are your translations. Anybody know if the "Freedom Jazz Dance" is from a commercially released recording? (I did some Googling earlier, but didn't come up with anything.)

rostasi Posted June 7, 2012 Report Share Posted June 7, 2012 (edited) There's a version on a 3-disc set called the All Japan Jazz Festival '71 Poll Winners (Nippon Phonogram-Phillips, FS-5065-7). Good luck! ®ø∂ BTW: It should look like this: Edited June 8, 2012 by rostasi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
