Kaiser, Henry / Toshinori Kondo - Renzoku Jump CD
SKU
ML 2022-1
Subtitled: Henry Kaiser remembers Toshinori Kondo (1948-2020), this is a collection of all previously unreleased recordings by this long standing duo, with the earliest recordings being from 1978 and the most recent being from 2020, which is the year Toshinori died.
In addition to the duo work (2 long pieces and 3 very short pieces), there are two long pieces as trios; one adding Greg Goodman on piano and one adding John Oswald on alto sax.
There’s a lot of ground covered here, but the opening, nearly 20’ duo piece is a masterclass in (mostly) quiet improvisation and catapults this into classic territory.
