Substantial yet vivid. A masterpiece of a debut album capturing the moment of breakthrough for the brilliant pianist Mikio Masuda.\n\nThis is the debut album by pianist Mikio Masuda, who first made a name for himself in the Terumasa Hino Group. Although the recording lineup consists of the exact same members from the Hino Group at that time (1974), Masuda—true to his role as leader—delivers a performance as lively and spirited as a fish in water. Four of the six tracks are Masuda’s originals. One moment he races through a piece with a light touch; the next, he poignantly weaves a beautiful theme. The diversity of styles and the freshness of the performance are truly breathtaking. In particular, the rich and Afro-centric “Prayer” is a masterpiece—both in composition and performance—that embodies a post-Coltrane approach. It serves as both the starting point and one of the defining works for Masuda, who would go on to produce a string of hits during his fusion era.\ntext by Yusuke Ogawa (UNIVERSOUNDS\/DEEPJAZZREALITY)\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Universal Music","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53419034738977,"sku":"4988031898130","price":309.0,"currency_code":"HKD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0568\/8482\/2076\/files\/4988031898130.jpg?v=1788219825","url":"https:\/\/cdsvinyljapan.com\/zh-hk\/products\/4988031898130","provider":"CDs Vinyl Japan Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
