Kosuke Mine attracted considerable attention through his work with the Masabumi Kikuchi Group and by releasing three albums as a leader in rapid succession in 1970. Following the breakup of the Kikuchi group, he released the masterpiece "Daguri" in 1973, followed by the recording of this album, "Out Of Chaos."

From the hard-driving "Recollection" to the beautiful ballad "Little Abi," Mine’s playing, influenced by John Coltrane during this period, displays both razor-sharp inspiration and an expansive sense of scale as he blows with unrestrained intensity. Supporting him is a trio led by Masabumi Kikuchi, the musician who helped propel Mine to the forefront of the scene. The overwhelming intensity with which the four musicians merge into a single, blazing whole is truly breathtaking.
