High-Flying Vinyle Orange Transparent

Description

Hiromasa Suzuki, a discreet yet essential figure behind Romance by Hiroshi Suzuki and Breeze by Jiro Inagaki, brings together an exceptional cast of musicians to elevate the crossover sound in this must-have masterpiece. Composer, arranger, and keyboardist, Hiromasa Suzuki has played a major role not only in jazz but also in the entirety of Japanese music, from kayokyoku to film soundtracks, as well as television and advertising. From the late 1960s to the mid-1970s, he actively participated in the most avant-garde works of Terumasa Hino, Akira Ishikawa, Jiro Inagaki, and many others, revealing the full extent of his visionary talent. His sense of innovation, always ahead of its time, reaches a culmination with this album recorded in 1976. Surrounded by the young Shuichi Murakami, Akira Okazawa, and Masayoshi Takanaka, he delivers a masterpiece of pre-fusion and Japanese crossover.
