Album Notes & Community Reviews

Recorded in New York City, this exceptionally slick LP highlights the Japanese guitar virtuoso heavily exploring synthesized guitar tones and irresistible jazz-funk grooves. Backed by an incredible rhythm section featuring drummer Steve Gadd, the instrumental compositions are deeply rhythmic, warm, and highly polished. It has become a revered classic among acid-jazz DJs and crate-diggers for its flawless, summery funk execution.
