Recorded over three December days in 1979 at Epicurus Studio in Tokyo and issued the following year, Cool Jojo documents a side of Masayuki \"Jojo\" Takayanagi that sits at considerable remove from the noise-as-method work he was simultaneously pursuing with the New Direction Unit. The guitarist's Second Concept was his vehicle for an explicit return to the Tristano school — the lineage he had absorbed as a young player in postwar Tokyo and never fully set aside — and the programme makes the allegiance unambiguous: three pieces from the Lee Konitz book (Hi Beck, Palo Alto, Subconscious Lee), two from Lennie Tristano (317 East 32nd, Lennie's Pennies), a reading of Kenny Ball's Froggy Day, and a pair of Takayanagi originals (These Things, My New Flame).\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-GB\" style=\"mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;\"\u003eWith Kenji Kohsei on piano and electric piano, Nobuyoshi Ino on bass and Yasuhiro Yamazaki on drums, Takayanagi pursues the long-line, harmonically extended phrasing that defined the Tristano circle — clean tone, contrapuntal alertness, an insistence on melodic logic over rhetorical heat. Heard against his concurrent free work, the record reads less as retreat than as method study: a player demonstrating that the discipline he was dismantling elsewhere remained intact at the source.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRatings\u003c\/strong\u003e :\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDiscogs : 4.89 \/ 5\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"AudioSoundMusic","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":59346053071183,"sku":"SONLPI509","price":85.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0575\/3811\/7783\/files\/Takayanagi_Second_Concept_-_Cool_Jojo.jpg?v=1793545552","url":"https:\/\/www.audiosoundmusic.com\/products\/masayuki-jojo-takayanagi-second-concept-cool-jojo-japanese-edition","provider":"AudioSoundMusic","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
