Daguri, Kosuke Mine Quintet (1973)

Trawling through the ages of Japanese jazz, one often hears a country utterly adoring of the genre, with countless musicians that undoubtedly respect it in ways that many far closer to the music’s homeland do not. And while it is rather easy, in any mid-size Japanese city at least, to find exceptional players of hard bop and post-bop, it is far less common to come across records of those styles that are bona fide classics (the avant-garde here is deliberately not mentioned – Japan has far more than its fair share of exciting jazz experimentalists, past and present).

When one does stumble upon one of those classics, a record that truly captures even the most miniscule slither of the country’s vast, awesome jazz scene, needless to say it’s joyous. And that’s the case with Daguri, a 1973 work by the Kosuke Mine Quintet. Far more than imitating the post-bop fusions of the spiritual and avant-garde seen in the US of the period immediately prior, one gets the impression that Mine – with this muscular, pretty, ambitious work – was not just compositionally and stylistically inspired by the likes of Coltrane, Dolphy and Shepp but also influenced in terms of attitude, approach, spirit.
