One of the more openly-grooving albums we've heard from Japanese reedman Eiji Kitamura in the 70s – a live performance that has the players working in this relaxed, small combo version of swing! Kitamura plays clarinet, and the group features some especially great tenor from Satoru Oda – who really shines on a long solo during the album's leadoff version of "Lester Leaps In"! Vocalist MarthaMiyake sings a bit on the record – adding in a nice late nite vibe to tunes like "My Ideal" and "It's A Sin To Tell A Lie" – before stepping back to make room for players Muneyoshi Nishiyo on trumpet, Kazuo Yashiro on piano, and Ichiro Masuda on vibes. LP, Vinyl record album
