[About the Label] East Wind is a groundbreaking jazz label that started in 1975 through the complete cooperation of Ai Music (at the time) and Nippon Phonogram (at the time). For about five years, they produced albums not only of Japanese musicians such as Masahiko Kikuchi, Sadao Watanabe, and Terumasa Hino, but also of musicians who were creatively active in the world jazz scene at the time. Beyond the quality of the performance, the artwork, created by top designers and photographers, was a fresh take on the image of jazz albums up to that point, and had a significant impact on subsequent record production. This is the second East Wind album by Al Haig, the bebop pianist who made a comeback in the 70s. A solo album featuring works and favorite pieces by Duke Ellington and Charlie Parker. His clear and delicate piano touch spins out beautiful phrases that are naive and full of nuance.
