Okay. Well, the Nakamura is fine if a little slow. But it's funky, man, I mean that is 1976. The other link sounds like a tape of me and my friends jamming in 1989. ------------- "Too often we enjoy the comfort of opinion without the discomfort of thought." -- John F. Kennedy |

Casiopea vs. The Square Live is a phenomenal Japanese fusion album. -------------

I got loads, but I'll start with Akira Ishikawa & Count Buffalos as I just love their groove (and so will you) http://https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PM5REoVz59w" rel="nofollow - |

Japanese fusion/yacht rock/citypop and the sort form the late 70's/80's is pretty popular with people in their 20's these days I feel. I personally really enjoy it too, though there's a lot of it, so you do risk finding something bland. There's quite a couple of Casiopea and Masayoshi Takanaka that gets boosted by the Youtube algorithm for some reason. Casiopea has quite a good debut album. After that they kind of lost their touch (and drummer, I thnk). I'd personally recommend Himiko Kikuchi. I recently acquired her debut album on CD, but a lot of them are hard to find (goes for a lot of japanese jazz, really). There doesn't seem to be a lot of this kind of stuff on PA, by the way. A bit too smooth? It does fit in the Jazz Fusion genre technically. |

When I think "Japanese jazz-fusion," the first word that comes to mind is KENSO. This is a live rendition of "Gips" from the live album Ken-Son-Gu-Su. The studio version is found on Esoptron. ------------- https://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_ipg=50&_sop=1&_rdc=1&_ssn=musicosm" rel="nofollow - eBay |

| The only ones I know of are Kenso, Ain Soph and maybe a little bit of Asturias. |
