An electric piano album released in 1971 by American jazz pianist Steve Kuhn, following his avant-garde period in the 1960s. The album features Ron Carter (bass), Billy Cobham (drums), and Airto Moreira (percussion), among others. From "Pearlie's Swine" and "Baby" recognized as jazz-funk tracks where sharp electric piano playing intersects with an avant-garde sensibility, to "Time To Go" which features his own vocals amidst a contrast of languidness and melancholy, to mellow jazz "The Meaning Of Love" which seems to synchronize with his vocals, and the avant-garde jazz track at the end of both sides. A masterpiece. An extremely rare original. The content is undeniable, but the price is due to some damage to the jacket.
米人ジャズピアニストSteve Kuhnが60年代のアヴァンギャルド期を経て71年にリリースしたエレクトリック・ピアノ演奏作品。共演はRon Carter (bass)、Billy Cobham (drums)、Airto Moreira (percussions)らが名を連ねています。キレキレのエレピの演奏とアヴァン感覚が交差するジャズファンクとしても認知されている”Pearlie's Swine”, Baby"、気怠さとメランコリックのコントラストに自身のヴォーカルをフィーチャーした”Time To Go”、ヴォーカルとシンクロするようなメロウ・ジャズ”The Meaning Of Love”、両面最後に収録されたアヴァンギャルド・ジャズまで最高。名作。超稀少なオリジナル。内容は言わずもがなですがジャケット難ありにてこの価格となっています。
