Part of the J Jazz Masterclass Series on Vinyl LP!
Super Rare Private Press Record Remastered from the Original Master Tapes!
Female Jazz Saxophonist Who Has Released Albums on Three Blind Mice, Kitty & Enja!

BBE Music's acclaimed J Jazz Masterclass returns with its 22nd release, a super rare private press from one of the unsung female jazz figures of Japan, saxophonist and composer Sachi Hayasaka, together with her band, Stir Up! Released in 1988 on the private label Mobys, Free Fight was Hayasaka's debut album and announced the arrival of an essential and primal force onto the Japanese jazz scene.

Part free jazz, part post-bop, and part heavy groove, Free Fight is one of the most varied yet engaging albums BBE Music has reissued in the J Jazz Masterclass Series, showcasing Hayasaka's inventive and muscular playing as well as her highly original and surprising compositional powers. Given the album's eclectic yet cohesive sound, it's no surprise that it originally found a home at Mobys, the label established by esteemed jazz critic and promoter Teruto Soejima. Mobys only issued a handful of albums from some of the leading free and open players including J Jazz Masterclass alumnus, pianist Aki Takase, as well as free jazz guitar icon Masayuki Takayanagi, and free jazz figureheads Itaru Oki and the great Masahiko Satoh.

Born in Tokyo in 1960, Hayasaka took lessons from saxophonist and recording artist Toki Hidefumi and fully immersed herself in the jazz life, working part-time at various jazz kissas including Peter-Cat, a kissa managed by novelist Haruki Murakami. She has performed regularly across Japan at venues like the famous Pit Inn and formed a strong alliance with the classic Tokyo jazz kissa Paper Moon, which continues to this day.

Heavily influenced by players such as Roland Kirk, David Murray and Ornette Coleman, Hayasaka has played with free jazz legend Yosuke Yamashita and performed around the world (as well as up Mount Fuji!). In the late 1980s she moved to New York for several years and worked with notable musicians including drummer Pheeroan akLaff and pianist Cliff Korman. She has recorded a number of albums to her name for Japanese jazz labels such as Three Blind Mice and Kitty as well as leading European imprints such as Enja.

Still a very active musician on the jazz scene, Sachi Hayasaka's name can now reach a new audience with this stunning debut album, available for the first time in over 35 years. Free Fight still sounds as fresh and exciting as the day it was recorded and is a testament to Hayasaka's skill and power as a world-class musician and composer. The album's power and impact is reinforced by the outstanding players in the band: Toshiki Nagata on bass, Keiki Midorikawa on cello, Ken Tsunoda on drums, Naoki Kubojima on piano, Tomohiro Yahiro on percussion, and Tetsuji Yoshida on trumpet.

The new J Jazz Masterclass reissue, taken from the original master tapes provided by Hayasaka herself, includes fully reproduced original album artwork and custom obi strip (not included with the original pressing), Hayasaka's own telling of her life in jazz, and previously unpublished photos from her personal archive.

Strong, Durable, and SIMPLE Frother
Color: Gray
Excellent frother! It is ‘SIMPLE’, yet very efficient blending. I love that it included a set of long-lasting batteries. The motor on this frother is strong and works great. The item itself is of durable quality. I have had mine for about 9 months and use it daily for my coffee and other drinks throughout my week, and the battery is still running. I even give it a spin after washing the frother spinner/coil. This helps to dry it thoroughly, as the motor is strong enough to blow away any excess water - and still - the batteries are functioning well. The price is just right…very affordable compared to other brands. I’m very pleased with this purchase and absolutely love that it also came with a stand. I display it on my counter everyday. There are 3 solid and Simple colors to choose from, making this an easier shopping experience. Excellent choice for gifting!

Found the perfect chai frother on a budget!
Color: Glossy Black
Okay so I'll be honest, I spent way too long researching milk frothers before pulling the trigger on this one lol. As someone who grew up drinking chai every single day, having a good frother is kind of a big deal in my house. This little thing has been absolutely worth every penny. First off – it's SO easy to use. My 7 year old actually thinks it's the coolest thing ever and wants to help make my morning coffee now, which is honestly adorable. It just works, no fuss, no learning curve. What really sold me compared to other options was the USB-C charging. No more buying AA batteries every few weeks – that stuff adds up! I just plug it into the same charger as my phone. Super convenient. And here's a small thing that matters more than you'd think – it stands on its own! I don't need a separate stand cluttering up my already busy kitchen counter. Build quality feels solid, the stainless steel whisk looks clean and is easy to rinse off. For the price, honestly I expected less. Highly recommend if you're on the fence!

Nice handheld frother!
Color: Glossy Black
Handheld frother....tiny but mighty! Holds a charge for a number of uses before needing to plug in. Easy to use, easy to clean and works well. Doesn't take up a bunch of real estate on the counter or in the drawer. I would totally recommend this product.

Perfect for Protein Coffee & So Easy to Use
Color: Gray
The SIMPLETaste Handheld Milk Frother works great and has become part of my morning routine. It mixes protein powder into my coffee so much better than stirring with a spoon—smooth, frothy, and no clumps. It’s lightweight, easy to use, and powerful enough to quickly blend coffee, protein powder, creamers, or even matcha in seconds. Cleanup is simple, and it stores easily in a drawer. If you love adding protein to your morning coffee, this little frother is a game changer!

The Stand Is the Unexpected Favorite
Color: Gray
I use this at my morning coffee station for mixing powdered supplements into my coffee shake — more than one goes in and it handles them without complaint. For a small battery-operated device it has real power. Cleans easily. The foam quality is good for home lattes without any particular technique required. But my favorite part is, unexpectedly, the stand. It’s sturdy and well made and gives me somewhere sensible to set a dripping frother instead of it lying on the counter. A small thing that earns its counter space.
