Jazz / Fusion / Electric Jazz / Jazz Funk / Keyboards
Reissue with the latest DSD remastering. Comes with liner notes. A gem of a record from Japanese keyboardist Masabumi Kikuchi – one of those massive Japanese fusion classics that was partly recorded overseas, partly here in the US – with a sound that brings together all the best soulful aspects of both scenes! Kikuchi can create some really weird, wonderful sounds when he wants – but can also slide into a groove with the best of them – and, given the vintage of the record, may well be more inventive than Herbie Hancock ever was at this point in his career! The lineup's filled with great talents – trumpeter Terumasa Hino, reedman Steve Grossman, and guitarist James Mason – coming together wonderfully on titles that include "Sky Talk", "Madjap Express", "Alacalder", and "Sum Dum Fun".
Masabumi Kikuchi - One Way Traveller (1982) {2016 Japan Crossover & Fusion Collection 1000 Series SICJ 170}
Masabumi Kikuchi recorded this in 1980-1981 with James Mason as producer and a line up of US fusion session players (listed below) for Columbia Japan. The Miles Davis electric period influences are obvious - long, sprawling, slowly buiilding tracks often underpinned with heavy bass ostinatos, polyrhythmic patterns, chattering percussion and plenty of room for solo improvisation. Fusion is the word here - just too heavy to be jazz funk although it moves close to it at times.
