This album is a valuable live sound source left by Hidefumi Toki, the treasure of the Japanese jazz who died in June 2021.
This work records a live performance at <Live Spot RAG> in Kyoto the day before the studio recording of "The Guitar Man" (DOD-009) released in September 2020 featuring guitar legend Kazuhiko Takeda.
The sound of the two legends with the best blues feeling of the time is truly exquisite. With the support of Jun Miyakawa (org) and Shingo Okudaira (ds), we will deliver the best time of mellow and bluesy rising in the relaxed air.
