I need to listen to Thelin more. Only heard one a good while ago that I really enjoyed

I'm only just getting to know his music myself.  Enjoying what I've heard, so far.

Christensen is very good at "heart"

[HutchFan]

Earlier:

Saxophone – Akira Sakata
Bass – Adelhard Roidinger
Drums – Takeo Moriyama

Sakata plays gale force alto. . .  and the same could be said of Moriyama's drumming. 

However, IMO, this album doesn't quite reach the same crazy-transcendent level as Yosuke Yamashita's trio with Sakata & Moriyama -- as heard on albums like Clay , Up to Date, and Chiasma.  It's probably unfair to compare Roidinger with Yamashita, but the bassist's "voice" just isn't as forceful as the pianist's.  As a result, I find myself missing Yamashita when I listen to Counter Clockwise Trip.

 

So now I'm scratching that itch:

Piano – Yosuke Yamashita
Saxophone – Akira Sakata
Drums – Takeo Moriyama

Like Kip sez: "That's what I'm talkin' about."

I read the 'had' and was jolted by the fact he's no longer with us, thinking how I'd forgotten. Then checked and was relieved to see he is
