KENJI MORI / HIDEO ICHIKAWA TRIO "SOLO & TRIO" (THREE BLIND MICE, 1974)

I got to know Kenji Mori through his collaboration with Masayuki Takayanagi. I'm longing for some profound informations about the japanese Free Jazz scene from the sixties onward. The book from Teruto Soejima "Nihon furī jazu-shi : The history of Japanese free jazz" is not yet translated into english......

My appreciation goes to Nick!
