ALM-5001 ALM Records.
So here it is, one of the all time super rare Japanese jazz records of all time. Google searches return little or no information about this killer spiritual jazz monster. All bar one of the tracks were recorded at the Tachikawa Social Educational Hall January 1978 and released on the very limited ALM label.
Not only is this one scarce, it takes your breath away with pounding keys, fierce bass and driving percussion.
Here's the 11+ minute title track in full lossless glory.
Let me know what you think, and good luck hunting another one down!

Well scored Katonah.
Never come across this album before.
And big thanks for sharing!
And BTW, here's the full line-up of that trio:
Koichi Matsukaze: alto sax, flute
Ryojiro Furusawa: drums
Tamio Kawabata: bass
joined by Toshiyuki Daitoku on piano
Thank TN

And thank you K!
Thanks Katonah!
Sounds pretty damn good -- always been curious about this. A white whale winner for sure. Thank you for this!
your blog needs a revival man. a lot of gems are dead. nice library
katonah,
Thanks for uploading this one. This album and his another release on ALM (http://www.discogs.com/Koichi-Matsukaze-Trio-Featuring-Ryojiro-Furusawa-At-The-Room-427/release/5076420), are probably some of the best of Japanese free jazz made in the late 70s and early 80s. And it is extremely difficult to locate a copy of either. In my five years on ebay I have never come across a copy. I believe Mr. Matsukaze is still performing today. Anyway, thanks again.
Can you fully rip this album if possible? Many thanks!!
HOW SAD!!!!!
