Thanks. I'll check it out. I can hear that. They're both coming out of Coltrane -- like nearly everyone was back then.

Ugh. Sorry to hear this. Terrible news. NP:

I wasn't aware that it had been reissued either -- until I saw it on Dusty Groove's site. According to Discogs, it was reissued in January of this year. I'm super-stoked that it's available again. I'm not a Japanese jazz expert, but it's definitely one of the most compelling J-jazz albums I've ever heard. EDIT The down-side of the reissue? Like many Japanese reissues, it's not cheap. It cost me nearly $50. OTOH, the one original Kiso listed on Discogs is priced at $1,649. 😬

Gotcha.

@jazzbo, what aspect(s) of their "house sound" don't appeal to you? I'm just curious.

Nice find indeed!

More Dexter:

I love that stuff.

Now spinning:

I just ordered this LP from Dusty Groove: Miyazawa Akira Quartet ‎- 木曽 = Kiso (Victor JP, rec. 1970) with Masahiko Sato (p), Yasuo Arakawa (b), and Takeo Moriyama (d) I discovered this astonishing album a few years ago via YouTube. I can't wait to hear it in high fidelity.

and

A superb compilation.
