Jiro Inagaki & His Soul Media

Description:

Japanese Jazz, Jazz Funk masterpiece re-released on clear green colored vinyl! A Jazz Rock masterpiece by master musician Jiro Inagaki! Jazz Rock Goes Beyond. Soul Media, led by Jiro Inagaki, has arrived at the ultimate groove, tight and cool. As Inagaki himself says, "I did black funk." By combining the burst of jazz rock he had cultivated up to that point with the tenacity and elasticity of black music, his musicality took a leap to another dimension. The groove is polished, shiny, and bewitching, coupled with the masterful arrangements of virtuoso Hiromasa Suzuki. All the songs on the album are worth listening to, including "Painted Paradise," which is full of energy and speed, "Breeze," which combines funkiness and mellowness, and a cover of Kool & the Gang's "Funky Stuff," which has a low center of gravity and a sharp edge. This is a definitive masterpiece that is now being sought after all over the world. text by Yusuke Ogawa (UNIVERSOUNDS/DEEP JAZZ REALITY)
