This reissue of “Now!!” by the Masaru Imada Quartet is simply outstanding. It is one of the most iconic Japanese jazz albums of the 70s, and this pressing captures the energy, drive, and sophistication of the original recording beautifully. The sound quality is excellent—clear piano, tight bass, and crisp cymbals with very low surface noise. The dynamics feel lively and natural, making this a highly enjoyable listen from beginning to end. It’s wonderful to finally have an affordable, high-quality version of this rare classic available again. A must-have for any fan of Japanese jazz. Highly recommended.
