Thanks, looks like a fascinating article which could end up costing me a lot of money!

Mr Higgins is the man behind the BBE Japanese Jazz reissues. He knows his onions on this subject.

But I think I remember there was a japanese guy dont remember his name, a quite long and not pronouncable name, who had a big band called "New Herd" and who recorded some tracks with US Stars in the early 70´s. He can be heard on an ill fated Mingus in Japan album from around 1971, and on a Monk album also from that period which was quite unhappy for both Monk and Mingus.....

Toshiyuki Miyama, yes. I like most of what I've heard.
