The recording lineup is the same as that of Hino’s group at the time in 1974, but with Masuda taking the leader’s role, he plays with the freedom and vitality of a musician fully in his element. Four of the album’s six tracks are Masuda originals. At one moment, he races forward with an agile touch; at the next, he tenderly spins out a beautiful theme. The variety of the compositions and the freshness of the performances are nothing short of remarkable.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAmong the highlights is the weighty, Afrocentric \"Prayer,\" an outstanding composition and performance built around a post-Coltrane approach. This album marks the starting point of Masuda’s career before his string of hits during the fusion era, and remains one of his defining works.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eText by Yusuke Ogawa (UNIVERSOUNDS \/ DEEP JAZZ REALITY)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eTracklist:\u003cbr\u003eSide A\u003cbr\u003e01.
