Akira Toyoda :: Benkei

Recorded in New York City, smack in the middle of the 1980s, Benkei deftly sidesteps the era's too frequent production woes. In sharp contrast, the record presents aesthetically perennial. As a piece, Benkei emanates a presence, an atmosphere that in no way feels ad hoc, but one more befitting a group of serial collaborators. This is both a testament to Toyoda as a bandleader and the players innate communion and agility throughout . . .
