Masayuki Takayanagi New Direction Unit was a Japanese guitarist and composer known for his innovative approach to free jazz. He was a key figure in the avant-garde music scene of Japan in the 1960s and 1970s. Takayanagi's unique style incorporated elements of noise, improvisation, and unconventional guitar techniques.
His collaborations with other artists, such as *Kaoru Abe*, pushed the boundaries of traditional jazz and explored new sonic territories. Takayanagi's compositions were often characterized by their intense energy and dissonant soundscapes.
Throughout his career, he released numerous albums that showcased his groundbreaking musical vision. His work continues to inspire musicians and listeners alike, leaving a lasting impact on the world of experimental music.

Masayuki Takayanagi was one of the truly iconoclastic musicians to emerge from Japan, or anywhere else, in the 20th Century. Though he won acclaim in the 1950s and '60s as a master of the electric guitar and jazz improvisation, Takayanagi was a restless spirit, deeply engaged with the era's new movements in contemporary art, music, literature, and philosophy.
