Masayuki Takayanagi

Recorded in 1975 for ESP Disk, but not released until 1991 and then only in Japan.

This Japanese guitarist is new to me; a fascinating listen for $7 via Bandcamp.  Three tracks that build nicely; the 3rd track ("My Friend, Blood Shaking My Heart") is a 20-minute squall.  

If your sinuses need clearing, you may want to check this out.

And it was reissued in 2007 on CD - again in Japan only. Some copies came with a CDr containing a later solo track from 1985.

However - it gets my highest recommendation.

His work with Kaoru Abe is worth checking out (not for the faint of heart!). 

But if one is able to withstand and enjoy Abe's playing (or Takayanagi's for that matter) one is on the safe side regarding mental health - IMHO.

This is really interesting footage and it's new to me. I assume that is Kohsuke Mine on tenor? 

Big fan of Takayanagi and I'm glad some of this material is being rediscovered, remastered, and reissued. The Station '70 box sounds great. I was just listening to the Moers '80 LP the other day and was reminded of how each album was an innovation in some way over what came before.
