A jazz-rock masterpiece by jazz master Jiro Inagaki! Beyond jazz rock. What Soul Media, led by Jiro Inagaki, arrived at was the ultimate groove: tight and cool. As Inagaki himself said that he "played black funk," the explosive feel of jazz rock he had cultivated up to that point was fused with the grit and bounce of black music, taking their sound to another dimension. Together with the skillful arrangements of master arranger Hiromasa Suzuki, the groove was polished, gained luster, and took on an alluring glow. Every track is a highlight, including "Painted Paradise," overflowing with dynamism and speed; "Breeze," where funkiness and mellowness coexist; and a cover of Kool & The Gang's "Funky Stuff," low-slung, sharp-edged, and cool. It is now a definitive masterpiece that is highly sought after around the world. Text by Yusuke Ogawa (UNIVERSOUNDS / DEEP JAZZ REALITY) *World-renowned "Made in Japan" quality.
