barabara sounds sez:
Another fine contribution from the mighty bongohito, continuing the recent TBM thread. Bassman Hideto Kanai here with his homage to one of the greats, Charles Mingus. Recorded just a couple of months after Mingus passed, it includes a couple of his compositions — plus Kanai's own bluesy homage, which was recorded with a slight change of personnel.
There's very little about this particularly album anywhere on the web, but Kanai himself needs little introduction if you're a regular visitor at Barabara Manor. There's been no reissue (that I'm aware of) of this, nor any previous postings in the blogosphere. Big up bongohito!.
personnel:
Hideto Kanai bass, guitar; Toshihiko Inoue tenor sax; Mikinori Fujinori soprano, alto & baritone sax; Yoshito Osawa piano; Yasuhiro Yamazaki drums
[For Charles: Hideto Kanai bass, guitar; Toshihiko Inoue tenor sax; Mikinori Fujinori soprano, alto & baritone sax; Fumio Yasuda piano; Tohru Takeda drums]
tracks:
A) 1) What Love; 2) Rhapsody in Blue
B) 1. Chokuritsu Bummeijin; For Charles; Tensions
TMB 5015, recorded March 12 & 15, 1979

Bonghito dropped the link in the comments for "Q". For those of you who missed it, here it is again:

Thank you.
Hi Taro, I DL this one a good while ago but forgot to say thanks and leave a comment. This is a stupendous album, it reminds me of the first time i heard the Candid recordings of Mingus, I was in my late teens, around 1970. Everybody else was into rock and then I heard the Faubus Fable. This is a very strong album.
Cheers
Thanks for all the feedback. Great to know this excellent album is finding appreciative ears.
@ boogieman
Mingus is a giant, and Kanai chose wisely for his mentor/inspiration.
All the best to you!
Thank you for this wonderful music! Your work is a constant source of education and inspiration!
"Concierto de Aranjuez" is pretty impressive stuff,
looks like "What" might be interesting to me too)
i don't want to be a bother, but is there any chance to reupload this one?
