An absolutely wonderful album of pristine and deeply introspective piano improvisations: seven songs amounting to only 31 minutes of music that was highly treasured in Japan where it was recorded in 1969 in a studio in Tokyo before being released on June 21 of that year in Japan only--on CD in 1983! (It did not receive its public release in the West until 2004.) As I listen to this (over and over) I can only imagine the inspiration Herbie's music had on aspiring musicians in Japan. (Think: Ryuichi Sakamoto and Hiromi Uehara.)

This is definitely one of the finest solo piano albums you are likely to encounter from any genre of music! HIGHLY recommended.
