Terumasa Hino – Hip Seagull (LP Vinyl)

Terumasa Hino spent the late 1970s bridging Tokyo's jazz underground and New York's avant-garde scene, bringing a fierce trumpet voice shaped equally by Miles Davis and his own restless experimentation. *Hip Seagull*, recorded for Blue Note Japan, captures him in that creative sweet spot where post-bop structure gives way to something looser and more searching. For collectors who follow the Japanese jazz canon, this one belongs in the same conversation as the era's best.
