Masabumi Kikuchi sextet LP “Matrix” HMV 2015
Nice reissue, comes in nice gatefold with pink obi !
From Tiliqua records :
“…Centered around the groovy and exploding sax lines of Kikuchi Hideyuki and assisted on ivory keys by Kikuchi Masabumi pounding out cascading molten chunks of lava, butt-shaking and vitriolic bass licks of Takitani Hironori and thepercussive tribal freak outs by master drummer Moriyama Takeo. Original 1969 pressing in pristine condition – probably the best copy around. This is truly a wonderful album, balancing in between AACM inspired spiritual mellow free jazz interplay and intoxicating groovy interplay. “Matrix” line-up consisted out of the crème of the crème of the Japanese spiritual jazz scene at that day – Futami Tetsuo (tp), Kikuchi Hideyuki (as), Nishimura Akio (ts), Kikuchi Masabumi (p), Takitani Hironori (b), Suzuki Takahiro (dms) – “Matrix” became one of the few Japanese spiritual jazz slides to come out so early that brimmed over with originality. With this line-up, Kikuchi Masabumi strived for recreating or injecting his own compositions with some fire-breathing interplay that drove on a lyrical economy and meticulous musical detail that is deceptively intense. The sextet explores more spread open improvisational territories, less heavy loaded but nevertheless burdened with the same intensity and urge to spontaneously combust on the spot. More space is created for challenging interplay, demonstrating the greatness of each individual participant in this blood-curdlingly amazing slab of panoramic sound clusters. Everything I expect a fantastic spiritual jazz disc to have is embedded within this LP’s grooves, semi-heavy fixes everywhere you look, communal stripped down interplay, individuality and bliss-like cut in interventions, warm sound clusters of groovy interplay. But it isn’t before long they divert again into percussive shakers and intuitive atmospheres of swing-vibe interplay that is not bound to be categorized easily. Hideously rare but sadly undetected piece of Japanese Jazz History…”
