It's not great. I wouldn't say lightweight, but it underperformed my expectations. 

Part of it is that I'm having trouble getting a handle on Kako's playing. Certainly a fine pianist, but he sounds highly classical-oriented (he has written a lot of film scores and "composed music") and thus far I prefer other pianistic partners (Satoh, Y. Takahashi, etc) for Togashi.

This (quartet) recording with Kako is better IMO:

Cheap but weird package: 1 fusion album (Guerilla Band) and 2 straight-ahead standards sets (Rebop and Just Us). They are good recordings, though.

It is streamable indeed:

- and I agree, it's not that great.

Marvin Gaye “You’re the Man” Motown cd

 

A post-humous release of a Gaye album that was prepared to be released in '72. . . but ultimately never released until 2019.

 

The lyrics of the title song (which was the only part of the album previously released, as a single) contain the perhaps always timely line ""politics and hypocrites is turning us all into lunatics."
