How is that? One of the Togashis I have steered away from fearing a lightweight travelogue.

It's probably streamable, I should look

It's not great. I wouldn't say lightweight, but it underperformed my expectations. 

Part of it is that I'm having trouble getting a handle on Kako's playing. Certainly a fine pianist, but he sounds highly classical-oriented (he has written a lot of film scores and "composed music") and thus far I prefer other pianistic partners (Satoh, Y. Takahashi, etc) for Togashi.

This (quartet) recording with Kako is better IMO:

Cheap but weird package: 1 fusion album (Guerilla Band) and 2 straight-ahead standards sets (Rebop and Just Us). They are good recordings, though.
