Some words on this issue: TOGASHI MASAHIKO QUARTET (with TAKAYANAGI MASAYUKI, TAKAGI MOTOTERU & YOSHIZAWA MOTOHARU): “We Now Create” (Victor Records – SMJX-10065) First original pressing out of 1969, top notch copy. The first free jazz record to be released upon Japan 's shores by a domestic free-blowing combo was “We Now Create” by a group spearheaded by Togashi Masahiko. Their groundbreaking album was recorded within the span of a single day on May 23rd, 1968. Masahiki Togashi released as a bandleader, under his name, the first domestic free jazz document to hit the epicenter of Tokyo. Assisted by the crème of the crème of the that day pioneering and adventurous musicians, the line up counted amongst its members Takagi Mototeru (ts, cornpipe), Takayanagi Masayuki (g) and Motoharu Yoshizawa (b). Their glorious and only output (in this particular line-up) was released in 1969 under the title “We Now Create” by Victor. A staggering document. Free howling assault on the senses, scorching interplay, vicious feedback outbursts and soaring saxophone blasts howling against tumbling-down percussive rattles. A killer all round. One of the defining moments of Japanese free jazz.
