Poesy 〜 The Man Who Keeps Washing His Hands by Masabumi Kikuchi, Masahiko Togashi, Gary Peacock, released on Phillips in 1971.

A set that definitely lives up to the poetry promised in its title -- with none of the too-clean sounds you might guess from its hand-washing reference either! The album's one of the freest, most organic sessions we've heard from pianist Masabumi Kikuchi -- almost improvised at points, but with a poetic cohesion in the piano lines that's really great -- kind of an offbeat sense of lyricism that points in the same directions that Steve Kuhn or Keith Jarrett were heading in the late 60s. Drummer Masahiko Togashi plays lots of cool percussion and even a bit of gong -- and Gary Peacock's bass here is as great as on any of his other excellent Japanese recordings. - Dusty Groove
