"This album represents one of Seiichi Nakamura’s ideals a vision where the saxophone soars freely like a bird, liberating the listener and guiding them into a new world. During his time with the Yosuke Yamashita Trio, Nakamura poured his entire being into every note, weaving flashes of inspiration and raw impulses into powerful blows in the early 1970s. With this work, he undergoes yet another transformation. As Nakamura himself described: 'Sharing space with everyone, feeling as if we’re flying freely like birds that’s the ideal.' Here, layers of sound and moments of silence expand the sonic space, and within it, Nakamura’s saxophone runs vibrantly and unrestrained. Highlights include the exhilarating 'Wolf’s Theme', inspired by Kazumasa Hirai’s Wolf Guy series; the nostalgic melodies and relaxed groove of 'Harappa'; elegant, richly textured interpretations of standards like 'Body & Soul' and 'I Can’t Get Started'; and the dynamic, liberating energy of 'Viva Giappone'. In every track, Nakamura’s ideal is vividly realized. Featuring contributions from Toshiyuki Daitoku, Aki Takase, and Ryojiro Furusawa." - Teichiku Records
