Description
Nobuo “Hara,”whose real name isNobuo Tsukahara, is a Japanese saxophonist who became known in 1951 with his big band, theSharp & Flats. Together they recorded more than a hundred album during their career.Hozan Yamamotois, for his part, a Shakuhachi player, a traditional Japanese flute, enjoying such recognition in his country that he was awarded a Living National Treasure in 2002. The first record bringing together the two musicians is a live recorded in 1967 during the Newport Jazz Festival. It was a year later, in 1968, thatNew Jazz in Japan, their first studio recording, was released. Accompanied by the power of the Sharps & Flats, Nobuo Hara’s tenor sax and Hozan Yamamoto’s shakuhachi respond subtly to give this record, which had not been reissued since 1971, a completely unique style.
