Head Rock (2025 Reissue)
More Info
Japanese saxophonist Jiro Inagaki was one of the key figures in shaping jazz-rock in Japan, and Head Rock, recorded with his Soul Media group in 1970, captures him at full tilt. The record explodes with restless invention - 'The Vamp' sets the tone with its swaggering groove, while 'Twenty One' and 'Spoonful' merge rock weight with improvisational fire. On the flip, 'Back To Rack' rides a funk-driven pulse, and 'High Jack' locks into raw, horn-led momentum. 'The Ground For Peace' adds a touch of reflective contrast before the furious title track closes things out. Equal parts experiment and declaration, this remains one of the most uncompromising statements of Japanese jazz history - loud, confrontational and years ahead of its time.
