One of the first big band vinyl I purchased years ago. I put it on cassette and listened to this for months in my Mustang ll going to music school.

What a treat to hear this again. I bought all their albums years ago. I have moved so many times that I can no longer find them. Great music.

20代の頃にビッグバンドにはまり秋吉敏子バンドをよく聴いていました。youtubeで再開できて嬉しいー

Let me be the first to comment on one of Toshiko's finest compositions and one of her greatest arrangements. It works in a quartet AND a big band.

With Mariano did this one too.

I agree with you 100 % . Met the lady at a one-off Free concert arranged by the Japanese Embassy in Johannesburg South Africa.

I already owned this album in high school. I was delighted that we had a chance to play this chart in college big band. The one thing I remember is the precision we had to pay attention to in those little slight delays in the trumpet section. Just like the saxes, there are some parts where if you straight out swing it, you end up wrong. The pickup notes almost have to "threaten" to be delayed but not quite. (Believe me, we worked on that.) Great chart that stands up to this day many many years later.

First Vinyl album of Ms Akiyoshi that I bought. Met her at a concert in Johannesburg sponsored by the Japanese Embassy. Humble and down-to-earth and brilliant ~

40年以上前、寒い冬の夜の新潟県民会館。雪で到着が遅れていた彼女たちの演奏が漸く始まりました。いまだに忘れられない一夜でした。

Jazz truly is dying if this only has 10 000+ views

One of the greatest creators of music ever born. Love you Toshiko! Lew is a joy to hear play tenor as well as flute!

[@SamIAm-kz4hg]

Lew has that quintessential cool sax sound for this tune.

God I love Toshiko so fucking much
