Comments

Japan Original Pressing.

A hidden 1979 Japanese jazz-funk gem — razor-sharp horns, deep grooves and Masa Matsuda’s Electone gliding through Yuji Ohno’s unmistakably cinematic arrangements.

Produced and arranged by Yuji Ohno, Silent Dialogue takes Masa Matsuda’s Electone far beyond easy listening. Akira Okazawa, Shin Kazuhara, Shigeharu Mukai, Jake H. Concepcion and other top players bring a tight, richly arranged jazz-funk sound with unmistakable Ohno flair.

“Midspace Action” is the killer — sharp brass, a locked-in rhythm section and soaring Electone creating pure cinematic jazz-funk. “The Soaring Sea-Gull” and “Twilight Shadow” reveal a softer, beautifully mellow side, while “Cookie Dance” pushes the groove even harder.

A wonderfully overlooked Japanese keyboard album that deserves far more attention.

About the Condition

Grade	Description

+ / − may be added to indicate slight variations (e.g. VG+, EX−).

We visually inspect every record, and we clean each one before shipping (play-testing when needed). Even new or great-looking vinyl—especially some Japanese pressings—can have light background noise. We grade carefully by eye and ear, but it’s still a human call, so please check the notes before buying.
