今田勝 Masaru Imada - Ascent

“Ascent / Recital Live II” is a live recording by Masaru Imada, a towering figure in the Japanese jazz scene.

A superb performance that captures not only his exceptional technique and lyrical melodies but also the atmosphere of the venue itself.

True to its title, “Ascent,” the album delivers a breathtaking dynamic range — rising from stillness to passionate intensity.

The piano touch is striking, with a presence so vivid it hardly feels like a recording.

The original track A2 “World Line” is a deep, extended composition that stands out.
