Jinya Disc presents an essential collection celebrating the multifaceted genius of Masayuki Takayanagi, featuring three pivotal recordings that span different periods and approaches in his revolutionary career.

Holy Holly Holly captures Takayanagi's final "Angry Wave's" project in a vital 1985 live recording, featuring twin double basses creating oceanic depths beneath his razor-sharp guitar work. Stardust reunites three Japanese jazz pioneers in an intimate 1979 session, showcasing rare warmth and camaraderie as Takayanagi, Ryozo Sugiura, and Hideto Kanai revisit their shared musical roots at Yokohama's Stork Piano Lounge.

The bundle includes Bewitched as a special free bonus - a precious document of Takayanagi's standard jazz performances from the 1970s, featuring his deeply emotional guitar work with minimal notes and impeccable timing that "sounds like talking." Originally part of an eight-track cassette collection, these four tracks represent his standard repertoire at the dawn of his free jazz exploration.

This collection offers a comprehensive view of Takayanagi's artistic evolution, from his foundational work in Japanese jazz through his avant-garde innovations, making it an essential acquisition for collectors and jazz enthusiasts alike.
