In 1975, the jazz world, where the king Miles Davis had temporarily retired, was experiencing a crossover/fusion boom in music that was similar to Miles’ electric music, but had a completely different sound and was easier on the ears. However, in a scene where they had lost their leading role, Miles Children felt a sense of crisis that they should not cultivate the roots of real jazz, and Herbie Hancock, Wayne Shorter, and Ron, who had mastered acoustic jazz with Miles’ golden quintet. Led by Carter and Tony Williams, many fans who were hungry for real jazz were involved, and they created a wave of returning to their roots by playing authentic 4-beat music. Inspired by this, big names such as Chick Corea and Freddie Hubbard, who were all about electric music at the time, followed suit. It is no exaggeration to say that this trend was decidedly decided by a young superstar who astounded jazz fans all over the world. What’s more, even though they were newcomers, they appeared with an amazing sound that could be described as a new 4-beat that evolved from the 4-beat jazz that was said to have been perfected by Miles’ golden quintet. Yes, it was the arrival of the long-awaited savior, Wynton Marsalis. Incidentally, in the world of jazz, which at the time was said to be “great unsold music,” CBS Columbia, with the goal of reviving Miles Davis, paid close attention to veterans, mid-level players, and even unknown newcomers. He immediately came to Japan in 1981 as a member of the Herbie Hancock/Santana Special Band, but due to the purpose of the band, he only showed off a glimpse of his talent and left little impression. However, “Portrait of Wynton Marsalis”, which had already been released worldwide, was selling close to 100,000 copies a year. So, the record company decided to create a super group after V.S.O.P., a reproduction of Columbia’s proud Miles Golden Quintet…Thus, a quintet with super newcomer Wynton at the front was born. The members include Harvey, Ron, and Tony of Miles’ Golden Quintet, but Wayne, whom Winton respected the most, unfortunately does not participate, and Winton’s brother Branford Marsalis joins as his partner. The group name is decided to be V.S.O.P.II and the tour begins. As part of this, the long-awaited performance in Japan was scheduled, and Winton’s full story was finally revealed, giving birth to a masterpiece that is still talked about as a legend and dominates the conversation of all jazz fans. The legendary Tokyo performance on May 19, 1983 can be heard directly from the never-before-seen original 4-track recording master, where you can clearly hear the details of each member’s playing, in a different dimension. A two-disc set that realizes the astonishing and ultimate high-quality stereo sound board recording, this supreme item is once again the prestigious So What! It has appeared for the first time from the label! The set list includes a cover of “Ringo Oiwake”, “The Sorcerer”, “Well You Need Don’t”, a new song that has not yet been titled, “Opus 1.5”, “Hesitation”, which appeared for the first time, ” Riot,” he played a total of 10 songs in total, and was completely on par with Harvey, Ron, and Tony, who were in their late 30s to late 40s at the time and were at the peak of their careers. The five members, Winton, who proudly shows off his brilliant blowing without hesitation, and Branford, who plays intelligently like Wayne, create a scientific reaction similar to that of Miles’ golden quintet era, and this member With a modal intersecting of past and future that can only be achieved, and a novelty never before heard, they perform a true progressive and hard bapish performance based on an infinitely free-form style. However, not only Harvey, Ron, and Tony, but Wynton, who is new but already has an originality unlike anyone else, is amazing. He blows freely with outstanding technique like Clifford Brown or Freddie Hubbard, and new phrases pop out one after another, and regardless of the slow rhythm or tempo, there is an overwhelming sense of speed that pervades the entire performance. This performance was the sound of an era that completely changed the landscape of jazz itself, and it was a “newness” that had not been seen by previous trumpeters. The thrilling encounter between these five people is completely recorded, and for the first time, you should listen to “real” jazz perfectly captured in the highest quality sound! ! ! Harvey, Ron, and Tony, who continue to move forward while passing on the legacy of jazz, and Winton and Branford, who breathe new life, have achieved the best fusion, creating a series of tense plays that you won’t want to miss even for a moment. The masterpiece performance that rushes through at once is recorded directly from the original unearthed 4-track reel-to-reel recording master, perfectly recorded on the most brilliant, astonishing, and ultimate high-quality stereo soundboard.
