Title: A hidden treasure...
Review: Now I don't pretend to be a jazz expert, but there is something in this recording that BREATHES. I suppose it has to be the way Abe's sax alternates from near inaudible exhalations to Zorn-esque spaz attacks. The sound quality is decent for a live performance and reflects the small venue in which this was recorded (you can actually hear dishes clinking, people murmuring and phones ringing in the background). Everything adds to the feeling that you are eavesdropping on a secret Japanese jazz club where something truly happening is, well, happening. Very fine improv, indeed.
