Masayuki Takayanagi & Kaoru Abe - Gradually Projection

I've posted about this album in this thread at least once, I'm sure of that. This is a brilliant improvisational record consisting of Abe on the bass clarinet, alto sax, and harmonica and Takayanagi on guitar. Both are very expressive and have a unique approach to their instruments. They run through several fields of emotion on this one and it's a powerful record. My one complaint is the recording quality as Abe's sporadic clarinet bursts sometimes overwhelm Takayanagi's guitar, but it's free jazz so maybe I'm setting the bar too high in terms of production. Musically, this is where it's at.
