It's hard to beat these premium sounds from the golden age of Japanese jazz-funk during the 70's on these perfect reissues mastered and pressed in Japan. Of course top quality is to be expected from Universounds Deep Jazz Reality series curated and produced by Yusuke Ogawa, the best Japanese music Made In Japan!


A great bit of fusion from the start of the 70s – kind of a bridge between the late 60s "groovy" Japanese jazz, and some of the freer-thinking work to come! The group features excellent tenor from Takeru Muraoka, who plays with kind of a sharp edge that almost echoes more of the alto and soprano work of the generation – mixed with keyboards from Hiromasa Suzuki – who's plenty great on electric piano! Hiroshi Suzuki plays trombone, and the set's got some nice funky drums from Akira Ishikawa – who's always a treat. Overall, the set often has some of the same funky characteristics as some of the best late 60s electric jazz sets on Liberty Records in the US – on titles that include "Capricorn", "Something", "On A Sunny Day", "Some Other Night", and "Peaceful Planet". (Part of the "Universounds Presents – Deep Jazz Reality" series!)
