Since the original LP is extremely rare and commands high prices, this reissue is a cause for wild celebration among fans and collectors of free jazz and Japanese jazz.\n\nThe album features live recordings from December 24, 1976, at Alone, a jazz café in Hachioji. Notably, the café was run by the band members themselves. This album was released on the independent label Death Chonbo Records, with a portion of the funding coming from advertising revenue from local businesses featured on the back cover. The final track, “The Ballad of the World,” is a piece dedicated to Harada’s newborn son; its delicate piano melody unfolds into powerful chords, while the intertwining alto saxophone lines ascend in a spiraling pattern.\n\n\n\nPiano, Soprano Saxophone – Yuki Harada\nAlto Saxophone – Junji Mori\nAlto Saxophone, Baritone Saxophone – Kazutoki Umezu\nDrums, Percussion – Takashi Kikuchi\n\n(From the manufacturer’s information)\n\n*Please note that as this is a limited edition, we may have to cancel your reservation.
