My introduction to the wild world of Abe Kaoru was this, remastered from vinyl, release on P.S.F.; Aided by the bleak Industrial style cover art one suspected this might be quite good.
It was three tracks of a bloke going apeshit on a saxophone in a small room for fifty minutes. It certainly misses drums or guitar to add a bit of colour to the proceedings,but, this does give one a chance to accompany Kaoru oneself. As he allegedly never listened to anyone he improvised with,you should end up with a bona-fide improvisation of yourself and the legend going ape in your front room.....with the added bonus of sparse applause for your efforts. It's also good for sampling a nuts saxophone solo for your own work without having the misfortune in having a real saxophonist visit your home studio.Luckily,or otherwise,for me I have a brother who's a more than willing contributor of reed jiggery-pokery to any of my recordings.....like this one.
Tracklist:
1 No.1 24:17
2 No.2 4:27
3 No.3 17:54

All this free jazz got to me pull out one of my Walter Zuber Armstrong albums this morning. A far more sub-dude affair compared to ol'wife whomper, and for my taste a lot less interesting. Though I also detest the flute, which Walter proceeds to toodle on his Alpha and Omega album, so there's that...keep the Abe coming...
Dont stop!
I love japanese free jazz. Continue with this exploration.
I really appreciate your kind work, it makes my musical world better.
Sincerely

Cheers JRAC...this stuff seems to attract opinions from both ends of the spectrum and no middle ground.There's no-one saying "ahhh that's alright i suppose" either love it or hate it stuff.
Yes yes yes!!!
Next, break out the Derakushi! Been looking for that shit for years.
Hasta.
