masayuki takayanagi / nobuyoshi inothe complete works of jojo • jazz 1” digital versatile disc

  • 900320
  • you don't know what love is
  • apelo
  • round trip
  • winter moon
  • 2 degrees east, 3 degrees west
august 2009 release ; single-camera shot(s) of masayuki takayanagi & nobuyoshi ino’s final duo concert(s) in nagoya during march, 1990 ... tak’s in great form throughout, switching between a (gnarly, phased) “jazz box” & classical guitars, with ino providing the perfect counterpoint ...

the “free” playing is of course gorgeous (as can be heard in the sound-sample of the first piece on the dvd) & the standards are rendered in classic quirky tak fashion ; not as overtly “!!??” as the “action direct 1” video, but just as important a link in the chain of tak’s seminal later work ...

i photographed this product in consumer 8mm video ccd-v200 (sony) in 1990. the sound uses the pcm audio system truck of the video using the outside microphone. there is the point where a noise sound is left to a master tape under influence of the power supply noise of the meeting place. please understand it beforehand.

  • inanimate neture iii (4:57)

  •  improvisation 1 (23:04)

august 2009 release ; absolutely incredible dvd covering two live sets from masayuki takayanagi, recorded on august 4th & december 17th, 1990 ...

both concerts feature tak on a bewildering array of cassette walkmen (there are stray cassettes strewn everywhere, on music stands, etc ... ; of field recordings, mostly), effects pedals (the electro-harmonix “frequency analyzer” is featured heavily) and two table-top guitars played with knives, motorized pick-arrays (ala the maciunas ensemble), and large scraps of metal, all mixed through a giant desk & played through speaker horns placed throughout the performance space (ala an ircam-styled “diffusion”) ...

completely seminal work, finally revealing tak’s working method for these (always mysterious !) final concerts ... highly recommended !!!

the group are on fire throughout, with kousei’s electric piano lending a decidely “late 70s” touch to the largely swinging, loose feel throughout ... tak lays out quite a bit, often playing unison lines with & comping behind kousei’s exploratory lines, but he does step out for a few amazing, internal-logic fueled choruses (such as the one featured in the sound-sample) ...

nice-looking single-wide double-disc set, with liners in japanese & english ; each copy comes with a bonus disc covering an “alternate” take of “froggy day” recorded by a trio version of second concept (mori must have stepped out for a smoke) recorded on tape off of the radio ...

'is picking perseverance'

those where especially it is impressive in the word to which takayanagi leaves 'as for picking' as for this which is perseverance are decisive thing not only the guitarist for the musician. the strength which repels the chord of the guitar with the pick, becomes the barometer of strength of that human. instantaneously is repelled with the pick which it had in the effectiveness hand, feeling of selection of sound, selection of the chord, selection, strength and the nuance of position, and selection of the most important timing everything is not decided before that and the [te] does not become. in a word decision making is the question whether the tip has been visible, whether it does. when there is perplexity somewhere, picking becomes weak. it is the same as word. the aforementioned everything being prepared, it does strong picking, inevitably as for the left hand unless you hold down securely, the chord floats. the sound where this gearing is strong is borne. the truth that 'completeness of mind the sound which it is good losing is not possible'.

about noise

as for masayuki's takayanagi which is sold excavation sound source there are times when noise has entered from jinya disc. we do the effort which is removed in the range which the case of mastering does not have hindrance in the sound source, but when it is riding in sound recording largely, we have left that way. we designate cd conversion as a record as purpose. it cuts in tune, as much as possible and/or fading out has tried not to do. this work the ending of last tune there is a noise nearby. removal of noise we would like to entrust to future someone.

june 2009 release ; much-anticipated collection of otherwise unreleased material from the salad days of masayuki takayanagi’s new direction unit ...

across the five audio cds, the takes range from euro-style pointillism to full-on sturm & drang batshit freakouts (listen to the sound-sample) ; recording quality is excellent throughout (all of these were mastered directly from takayangi’s personal reel-to-reel tapes) & the individual new direction unit members each get their moment in the sun via a series of “solo” takes dotting the various concerts ... before takayangi (re) enters the fray, decimating everyone with his vicious blown-amp guitar spray ...

for the die-hard takayanagi / ndu fan, this is the absolute motherlode of prime-era material(s) ; hands-down one of the reissues / archival editions of the year. highly recommended !!!

june 2008 release ; the thirteenth title in mr. saito’s campaign of archival materials of legendary japanese free/jazz guitarist masayuki takayanagi ... this presents four standards recorded by an electric quartet at the tail end of the 70s. shades of jazz fusion are evident throughout (read: rhodes piano) ; tak & co. are definitely in “in” mode here ; the playing is straight-laced, swingin’, & on-meter throughout ...

always a pleasure to hear more extant/archival playing from the man ; but again, like the “lonely woman” & “flower girl” sets this one’s more for the takayanagi completist ...

masayuki takayanagishibito” compact disc

  • [the deceased] (21:05)
  • [ancient observatory] (10:26)
  • [god of stone] (25:01)
eleventh & most recent title in the jinya series; a 1984 recording of a spoken word/sound-poetry piece with accompaniment by masayuki takayanagi on guitar & satoshi on bass/cello.

as with all takayanagi-related music from the 80s on; a mysterious force pervades throughout - this gets pretty damn violent/noise-addled in spots, only to be followed directly by long snatches of silence.

an excellent note to end on...

the deceased (it does by the recitation of good fortune increase and the ) from starts and recording the stage which performed representative work ancient observatory other than good fortune increase with no cutting. as for takayanagi, the time when from direction it is in the midst of moving in action direct. this time which was called metaimprovisation besides the fact that using the chain and the steel scale, it performs the guitar, using the tape, had made the various sound sources mix. coaction with the poem you do not say and very in the collision whose word is extreme as for being accompaniment, you can become tense.

the paper of the material feeling like the thick japanese paper where the jacket made the designated plate of the designer sasaki dawn person was used. it was written thin, you wrote letter "of the deceased", on good fortune increase person himself.

february 2008 release ; masayuki takayanagi’s “lost” tango record ... aside from “the smile i love” (which was actually reissued as jinya b-10b/p :: “flower girl” - no need to track it down...) this was the last missing piece of jinya / saito-san’s remarkably thorough overview of takayanagi’s career, out of print for close to 10 years, now re-pressed !!!

officially credited to “loco takayanagi y los pobres,” the group is actually takayanagi, bassist ino faith, and six other guitar players - recorded live in front of a respectful crowd, playing a rarified strain of tango bringing in elements from “hot jazz” (django reinhardt’s jowly mug is in soft-focus throughout), flamenco, & relatable guitar-based island music(s) ...

the set is primarily acoustic, with one absolutely lovely number featuring some electric playing by tak (listen to the sound-sample - almost getting into al dimeola territory there...) & even a sing-along chorus in the final number ... which is to say that, much like the “flower girl” and “jazzy profile of jojo” sets this is one for the takayanagi completists, or those simply wishing to get the full picture of his range ...

el pulso

product code: b-04sproduction origin: jinya disc

takayanagi attitude is opposite to music always in the true at the time of each category. this is record of one piece which leaves the rhythm of the tango which long time was continued to pursue on the chord. (from cd cap)

it is not the group which aimed for boom and the rarity which were made simply. when it related to jazz in takayanagi music history, learned the rhythm of the tango which almost spends the same time. the first step of the investigation is "el pluso". live with shibuya jeanjean and shinjuku pit-in. going out from the market, 8 years. jacket binding anew re-sale.
