Recensie
Masahiko Togashi’s 1981 solo album The Face Of Percussion is an astonishingly intimate, spiritually profound masterpiece of avant-garde jazz and free improvisation. As a legendary figure in the Japanese free jazz movement, Masahiko Togashi faced unimaginable adversity after being paralyzed from the waist down in 1970, yet he ingeniously re-engineered his custom drum kit to be operated entirely by hand. Recorded across several days at King Records Studio in Tokyo, this stunning Paddle Wheel release acts as a pure, unfiltered testament to his unparalleled rhythmic genius, where a single human being constructs an entire galaxy of sound using only percussion.
