Hiromasa Suzuki – High-Flying
Hiromasa Suzuki – High-Flying
Japan Original Pressing.
One of the crown jewels of ’70s Japanese crossover — explosive jazz-funk, electric keyboards and razor-sharp grooves from Hiromasa Suzuki, backed by an extraordinary all-star lineup.
Hiromasa Suzuki – High-Flying
After shaping landmark Japanese jazz records such as Hiroshi Suzuki’s Romance and Jiro Inagaki’s Breeze, Hiromasa Suzuki brought everything together on this extraordinary 1976 album. Produced by Jiro Inagaki, the sessions feature Jun Fukamachi, Masayoshi Takanaka, Akira Okazawa, Kenji Takamizu, Shuichi “Ponta” Murakami, Fujimaru Yoshino and Kiyoshi Sugimoto.
Fender Rhodes, synthesizers, hard-edged guitars, powerful bass and drums move through jazz-funk, rock and sophisticated crossover with incredible precision and force. “High-Flying,” “Screwdriver,” “Straight Flash” and “Out Of Focus” capture a moment just before Japanese fusion fully crystallized — still raw enough to hit hard, but already incredibly refined.
Not simply a great fusion record, but one of the defining statements of ’70s Japanese crossover. Original 1976 SQ-7001 pressing.
