The record
A stacked front line captured live for East Wind in 1975, with Hino leading brother Motohiko's drums and Sadao Watanabe's alto through a fusion-charged, electric-piano-and-conga heavy set. Big-band horns meet loft-era stretch-out energy, a snapshot of Tokyo's jazz scene reaching outward into fusion.
