What an insightful advice! Now I know how to listen to the music the right way.
Here are couple more excellent albums: Joachim Gies "Whispering Blue" (Leo) and Hermann Bühler "Alto Solo" (Dreamscape).
Agree, that Takagi is superb and very of a piece with solo Joe McPhee.
Shoji Ukaji (baritone player) also has an excellent solo CD that is rare but worth hearing or seeking out:
