One of those rare records that are defined as "hauntingly beautiful." This record was laid down when I was twelve tears old. 45 years later, I find myself mesmerized. A wooden flute really? Isn't the night sky beautiful, the clouds, the stars...the music.

The flac is most appreciated. It worked just fine. Thank you so much!
Thanks Hook! Beautiful indeed.
Thank you - I have the LP yet I'm grateful for your rip.
even at age46 hearing it for the first time is also very forfilling and a deeply rewarding exp! thanks!
(btw I took the 320, I think flac is a myth)
peace, E-mile
onxidlib - for all the great things you have turned me onto, glad to share this!!
e-mile, my friend, how are you? Glad to see you around. Not sold on the flac thing myself but enough clamoring so I tried to give it a go. Eats up the bandwidth though.
Everybody else - thanks for the comments.
Absolutely marvelous! thanks for this rare gems and for all the fabulous music you allows us to discover.
I have been wanting to find a copy of this for many decades. Thank you so much for the FLAC, it's worth it ... I can hear the difference clearly.
Beautiful... thanks very much for the FLAC, Hookfinger.
any chance for FLAC reuploading link is dead??? please..
Thanks in advance

Sorry Alex but the flacs use far too much bandwidth and 300 dls and less than half a dozen took the time to thank me. Nothing personal but you were among even more who asked for a re up but have never commented before.
To the regulars...I will supply a flac version, but you will have to email and ask for the link. I will not post them for all.
thank you very much for your kindness Hookfinger - it's your blog so you are the boss - & not to become me regular in it - i find it , searching for the above record lossless in net last week, i had written this LP in a "want list" from 80's under a good friend of mine suggestion btw-.So,no hard feelings & music never stops....

I am downloading the 320 file.
Many Thanks for this. I tried to avoid it, but I am getting more and more into japanese bands.
Oops ! It's already there !
It's like I have got a good friend coming !
Merci beaucoup.

thanks!
Hi!
I have been looking for this marvellous record for years... Thanks for the MP3 version. But the FLAC version seems not working :-(
How to get it?
Best,
Patrick
God this is magnificent! Thank you for posting this and all that you do.
I think the Helen Merrill record from Japan with Gary Peacock I just found recently was from around the same time; interesting that he is also on this session, great player.
Thanks Hook,
I must have missed it when it was initially posted. If it wasn't for bloggers like yours and a few others, I'd be completely ignorant of Japanese jazz.
Cheers
