A great bit of electric jazz from the Japanese scene of the 70s – an album that easily rivals the best CTI work in the US at the time! Trombonist Hiroshi Suzuki heads up a quintet here – one that's heavy on electric piano and keyboards, played in a stretched-out sort of groove that reminds us a lot of the energy on Freddie Hubbard's funkiest albums from the same period. The tracks are all quite long – and step out with a wonderfully rhythmic sensibility – spare at times, and very focused on the right rolling approach to the groove. Suzuki's trombone solos are matched by some equally great sax work from Takeru Muraoka – and rhythm is from Kunimitsu Inaba on bass and Akira Ishikawa on drums. Filled with great breaks and laidback jazzy grooves – and featuring tracks that include "Cat", "Walk Tall", "Romance", "Shrimp Dance", and "Kuro To Shiro".
Thanks Magal
wonderful album

ExcluirHi there, I tried to download the file, and I got a different record: Wishes, by Kochi. A really beautiful record, also present in Som Valvulado, but not the same record. I would be really grateful if you could repost the Hiroshi Suzuki record. Also, I wanted to say that I noticed that the activity in your bloh has slowed down considerably since late 2019. I am sorry for that, you blog is one of the most beautiful musical blogs I know, a true gem. I hope this is due to the brains behind the blog being busy, and I wish you and your blog all the best. Thank you for everything you have done and you do. Ciao
