Description
The smoking alto saxophonist Charles McPherson is joined by guitarist Jimmy Raney, pianist Barry Harris, bassist Sam Jones and drummer Leroy Williams live in Japan in 1976.
McPherson says about the Japanese audiences, "They were very polite during the performance, but afterwards they'd come backstage like they were about to burst with appreciation, and it was genuine".
Deluxe CD includes a 16- page book with original liner notes essay by author Tom Piazza, restored original artwork, plus extra photos and session notes, and a new essay by jazz journalist Bill Milkowski who notes: 'Bird's music was very much in evidence on this tour, and particularly on McPherson s set at Nakano Sun Plaza Hall on April 14, in Tokyo'. First US reissue since the original 1976 LP release.
