Akira Miyazawa & Soul Leon: Karajishibotan - Soul Tenor & Flute Ninkyouden (Japan Import) Vinyl LP
"Akira Miyazawa, a master of Japanese jazz who left behind such important works as 'Yamamegyo', 'Iwana' and 'Kiso' a work that recalls the original landscape of Japan, has created a unique work based on 'ninkyo eiga uta', 'enka' and 'gunka', with all songs arranged by Masao Yagi in jazz rock/rare groove style! The theme of 'Abashiri Bangaichi' is supported by an inert flute, giving it an Ethiopian funk flavor. The Latin jazz-rock style of 'Ryutensha' with its impressive congas and vibraphone. 'Zatoichi Lullaby' which starts with a superb groove from the introductory drum break and features a smooth and lustrous saxophone... each of these songs is a unique Japanese groove sound spectacle with a mysterious combination of sounds. Regrettably, the personal credit for 'Soul Leon' is unknown, but its tight sound image and strong groove have led some to suggest that it may have been recorded on the eve of the formation of Sound Limited, given the timing of its release in 1969." - King Record
