Has to be the best 'Naima' ever. Blinding!
Thanks
Another great drop, cheers Bacoso.
Absolutely killer set, and completely new to me. I love Japanese jazz from this era. Big thanks for the post.
Phenomenal share - a long OOP and deep TBM masterpiece. I love this kind of playing. Namely a deep respect to tradition with a sort of forward and occasionally non-linear pastiche just to keep things interesting.
Thank you for keeping musicians like Otsuka and so many others out front here at Orgy In Rhythm where they belong.
I'm with Q, Naima wow!
I just love it,many thanks.
Dear oh dear !! Thanks Bacoso!
I knew Mr Chris Dave (he is touring right now in US and Europe; don't miss the mad drummer !) had a twin brother ! But I didn't know George Otsuka has his own LP.
For me he is THE drummer of Orang-Utan by Isao Suzuki. Also on Blow Up and on Fumio Karashima "Gathering" (just bought it two months ago on nice xrcd!)
So thank you Bacoso, from now on Mr George Otsuka is the leader of a crazy jazzy funky quintet performing Naima like no others and offering us a somptuous composition in the name of "Physical Structure". All other tracks are splendid, of course !
Message to japan jazz lovers
1. I am looking for Fumio Karashima "Hot Islands" if anyone could upload it!!
2. I recently bought LP Maiden Voyage by Tatsuya Takahashi & Tokyo Union. I will receive it very soon. So if anyone interested, I will be able to post it here (on behalf of Mr Bacoso and after his agreement, of course!)

Super stuff Bocoso,getting into the 'Little Island'track,thank you.
Thank you so much for posting this one! I am trying to get into the Three Blind Mice recordings, but, they are rare in the States. I greatly appreciate your work.
Fusion with some real avant-garde teeth to it. Amazing, brilliant stuff!
What Bongohito said.
And Katonah. And Quimsy. And the others…
One of your finest shares ever Mr.B.
Interesting. Thank you.
Thank you!
Thanks a lot for the upgrade, maestro! Finally I can dispose of my old 128k-version. Great album!
This is great, thank you! I miss my old friend Jazz-Nekko who first turned me on to the riches of "J-jazz", but I'm thrilled that you've picked up the torch and are running with it.
