Legendary Live 1991

[Machine Translation] This CD was originally released in 2001, two years after the recording of guitarist Shinobu Ito's previous CD "MIDNIGHT SESSION / LIVE AT PAT'S N.Y.C. 1989," as a record of a live performance at the Roppongi Pit Inn with Hidefumi Toki, Ken Shima, Kenji Takamizu, Yuichi Tokashiki and others, and was later discontinued. This is a reissue of the CD "ONE LIFE TO LIVE", which was originally released in 2001 as a record of the live performance with Hidefumi Toki, Ken Shima, Kenji Takamizu, Yuichi Tokashiki, and others, and was later discontinued. Starting with a fantastic fusion, followed by smooth jazz, and ending with a blazing up-tempo hard bop in the second half, the members of the band all worked together to devour Shinobu Ito's music with all their might, making this one night of live performance a magnificent achievement and a precious record in the history of jazz in Japan.

この音源はギタリスト伊東忍の前作『MIDNIGHT SESSION / LIVE AT PAT'S N.Y.C.1989』の録音の二年後、六本木ピットインでの土岐英史、島健、高水健二、渡嘉敷祐一等と行われたLIVEの記録として2001年に発売され、後に廃盤となっていたCD『ONE LIFE TO LIVE』の音源に新たに未発表曲を加え再発されたものである。幻想的なフュージョンから始まり、スムースジャズ、そして後半の烈火のごときアップテンポでのハードバップまでメンバー全員が一丸となって全力で伊東忍の音楽に食らい付いていくこの一夜のライブは見事な出来であり、日本ジャズ史上に残る貴重な記録である。
