His Salad Day's (Yanagida) - 7:15 Personnel: Hiro Yanagida - organ Shigeru Narumo - guitar Masaoki Terakawa - bass Masaru Imada - piano Sadakazu Tabata - drums Shigeo Suzuki - bass clarinet Katsuya Kobayashi - voice Instrumental work of the Japanese virtuoso drummer with a group of comrades, which included the famous keyboardist Hiro Yanagida, rock guitarist Shigeru Narumo (Strawberry Path, Flied Egg, etc.), jazz bassist-sessionist Masaoki Terakawa (member of various formations of Masahiko Sato, Kohsuke Ichihara All Stars, Kuni Kawachi's group, etc.), pianist Masaru Imada (leader of the Masaru Imada Trio) and others. The album is made in a style that combines jazz (even going into Dixieland), fusion, progressive, blues-rock and everything in between these subgenres. Half of the tracks are originals written by the members of the group (mainly Yanagida and Narumo), the other half are very interesting jazz covers of non-jazz songs - from Love Me Tender and G.I. Blues to Moby Dick and Freddie King's Hideaway. The covers are imaginative, performed well and listened to with great interest. In places there were allusions to CCS. Tabata himself does not remain in the shadow of his colleagues who use traditional solo instruments – in many pieces his parts are given a lot of space both to demonstrate skill and to show off his imagination. I liked it
