Description:

[universounds presents DEEP JAZZ REALITY Vol. 2] This album contains a recording from 1974 on one side and a recording from 1978 on the other side. Both are trio compositions with well-known allies, Koichi Yamazaki (B) and Takashi Miyasaka (Dr)." Power and ideas reign with a subtle connection," was how Akedagawa himself described this album. The graceful yet powerful waltz "Obaacha Ote ga Oshima" and the bossa nova-infused "Fly Me Teu the Moon," reworked in the Aketa style, showcase the genius of Aketa, which no one else can imitate. Originally released in 1978. World's first CD release, digitally remastered in 2019. New commentary included.
