[Machine Translation] [universounds presents DEEP JAZZ REALITY Supervision and commentary by Yusuke Ogawa] AKETA'S DISK, the most hotly sought after by J-Jazz collectors all over the world! The latest digital remastering in 2019 with new commentary! Solo works by Hokkaido-born pianist Kazuhide Motooka. Having worked with groups such as Kazumi Odagiri, Tomomi Takahashi, Shigeharu Mukai, and Takao Uematsu, Motooka spent three years in the U.S. from 1980, and released this album after returning to Japan. This album contains 8 excerpts from a live performance in Furano, Japan. The covers, mainly of Monk songs, have a unique flavor and are well worth listening to, but the highlight of the album are three of Motooka's original songs. The highlight of the album are Motooka's three originals, which are masterpieces that weave the grandeur, beauty, and harshness of Hokkaido with great care and smoothness. The world's first CD release!
