MASAHIKO TOGASHI & INTER-ACTION – INTER-ACTION: LIVE AT HALL EGG FARM ON DECEMBER 9, 1995 (TAKE ONE RECORDS, 1996)

Masahiko Togashi's first professional performance was in 1955 and his first recording in 1957. Over the next couple of weeks I have a few albums to share from a series of 40th anniversary live concerts recorded in 1995. The first is with his long time collaborators, Masahiko Sato on piano and Nouyoshi Ino, on bass. On saxophone is Junji Hirose, who is probably best known outside Japan for his work with Otomo Yoshihide in Ground-Zero.

Togashi did the cover painting too.
