Not that Parker album, but it's his leader date. 

Track 3 isn't a Taiwanese player, but if you remember that name please drop it. I'd love to check that out. 

Since Parker's been ID'd on #9, it's track #79 here.

Nice choice! I actually own this (as part of the box set), but it'd never have occurred to me. Parker is one of my reflex guesses on BFTs, but not for shakuhachi.

The saxophonist on #3 is interesting. Kaoru Abe and Akira Sakata are the only Japanese skronkmeisters I'm familiar with, but I was sure they weren't involved. Will have to research Kawashima!

Takagi doesn't (or didn't) play alto afaik and the track was missing Sakata's drive/relentlessness -- heard a little Kawashima before but not much. Will listen further.

Correct! I've gone slowly through that box set which has paid off. It's got some excellent tracks on it.

Took me a a few listens to warm up to it but the album this comes from is definitely worthwhile. It's the only one I have from him at the moment.
