SEIKATSU KOJYO IINKAI : Seikatsu Kojyo Iinkai LP (S.K.I. [JAPAN] No. 1) 1975.

Record is Near Mint (our highest grade for an opened record); cover is Excellent with minimal wear to the seams (no splits).

Great original copy of this rare private free jazz LP, perhaps best known as one of the most obscure items on Thurston Moore's infamous free jazz underground top ten. It appears that "Seikatsu Kojyo Iinkai" means "Life improvement committee".

Moore says:

"FREE JAZZ of course made a strong impression on the more existential-sensitive populace of Japan. Some real masters came out of the Japanese scene and were influential to some of the more renowned noise artists of today (Boredoms, Haino Keiji). One such Jap-cat is alt-saxist Dr. Umezu who has mixed it up with NYC loft-dwellers on more than one occasion. On this completely obscure, underground release he unleashed some pretty free sh*t with the likes of William Parker (bass), Ahmed Abdullah (trumpet), and Rashid Shinan (drums)."

Recorded at Studio WE, NYC, August 11, 1975, engineered by percussionist Ali Abuwi.

Kazutoki "Kappo" Umezu : alto
Yoriyuki Harada : piano & bass clarinet
Ahmed Abdullah : trumpet
Rashid Sinan : drums
William Parker : bass
