Hidefumi Toki's 1975 album Toki offers a deeply personal journey into the realms of jazz, showcasing his expressive prowess on alto and soprano saxophones. Backed by a stellar quartet including Kazumi Watanabe on guitar, Nobuyoshi Ino on bass, and Steve Jackson on drums, Toki creates a stunning sonic landscape filled with gentle, raspy tones. The album's ambiance is laidback and mellow, yet infused with a profound sense of spiritual depth reminiscent of Coltrane's work. Original compositions like 'Darkness' and 'Lullaby For The Girl' captivate with their introspective beauty, while soulful renditions of classics such as 'When Sunny Gets Blue' and Ornette Coleman's 'Blues' further showcase Toki's emotive storytelling through his saxophone. Toki's ability to convey immense depth and emotion within a stripped-down setting, makes it a must-listen for fans of spiritual jazz.
