*Limited Edition* Exactly the kind of record that's got us digging Japanese trio sessions from the 70s so much a set that's filled with lots of warm, soulful sounds, creatively compelling changes, and fresh rhythms that really keep the tunes interesting! There's a slight undercurrent of funk on most numbers, but never too much as the set still preserves all the best lyrical lines of pianist Kichiro Sugino, who steps beautifully around the bass of Kishio Kitahara and drums of Mitsaki Katayama, a perfectly-hinged trio who soar plenty on the record  more than enough to earn the "flight" in the title! This one's really a cut above filled with wonderful energy, and never a dull moment throughoutì a real gem that's waiting to be re-discovered by the 21st Century generation. Titles include "Unknown Point", "Arizona High Way", "It's Over", "Louis", and "First Flight".
