A key work that sparked the revival of Takeo Moriyama, a treasure of the Japanese jazz world and one of its most powerful drummers, is being released on analog for the first time as the 8th installment of "Spin This Now!"

A ferocious beat struck out by Takeo Moriyama, a treasure of the Japanese jazz world and one of its most powerful drummers.

This important work, recorded in April 1994 and serving as the catalyst for Takeo Moriyama’s revival, is being released on analog for the first time.

Together with a rock-solid lineup of players including Fumio Itabashi (P), Yoshihiko Inoue (S.Sax & T.Sax), Eiichi Hayashi (A.Sax), and Hiroshi Yoshino (B), Moriyama delivers an overwhelming performance that condenses the entire universe of his fighting spirit into what became “Moriyama’s body.”

The original liner notes by Kazutomi Aoki from the album’s first release in 1994 are also reprinted for this LP edition.
