TERUMASA HINO QUINTET : Hi-Nology - LP - LE TRES JAZZ CLUB - Forced Exposure

Gatefold packaging. <B>Terumasa Hino</B> is undoubtedly one of the most famous Japanese jazzmen. Learning the trumpet at the age of nine, he began his career as a professional musician by playing in the orchestra of an US Army base, before joining <B>Hideo Shiraki's Quintet</B> and then forming his own band in 1964. On <U>Hi-Nology</U>, his brother <B>Motohiko Hino</B> appears on drums, <B>Hiroma Suzuki</B> on electric piano, <B>Kumitsu Inaba</B> on electric bass and <B>Takeru Muraoka</B> on tenor sax. The inspiration from the "electric period" of <B>Miles Davis</B> (notably <U>Miles In The Sky</U> released in 1968) is felt and is even accepted, since the opening piece is entitled "Like Miles." Coincidentally, <U>Hi-Nology</U> was recorded on July 31, 1969, the day after the release of <U>In a Silent Way</U> and has nothing to envy of this great record by Miles Davis.
