This blow changed the history of jazz. A declaration of war delivered by the genius and maverick Jiro Inagaki. The ultimate jazz-rock legend is here!

Jiro Inagaki was one of the musicians at the center of the development of jazz-rock in Japan. Feeling the limitations of existing jazz, Inagaki stated, "With a band that smells strongly of rock, we will do not only jazz-rock, but something that has never existed before," and began his full-scale activities with Soul Media from 1969. The work that symbolizes his activities and musicality is this 1970-recorded masterpiece, "Head Rock".
