Mickie Yoshino & Kazumi Watanabe - Kaleidoscope
Mickie Yoshino & Kazumi Watanabe - Kaleidoscope
Japan Original Pressing.
An unbelievable late-70s Japanese super session. Herbie Hancock, War and Stevie Wonder are transformed through heavy fusion, funk, psychedelic keyboards and explosive guitar, before the 16-minute title track takes everything even deeper.
Kaleidoscope is much more than a Japanese fusion cover album. “Maiden Voyage” turns Herbie Hancock into a muscular electric-jazz workout, War’s “The World Is A Ghetto” becomes a deep funk-rock jam, and Stevie Wonder’s “As” is opened up into a soulful, spacious session. Then the 16-minute “Kaleidoscope” brings Kazumi Watanabe and Mickie Yoshino into full psychedelic fusion territory. With Ponta Murakami, Hidefumi Toki, George Murasaki, Masami Tsuchiya, Carmen Maki and an extraordinary cast involved, this is one of those Japanese records where the personnel list alone should make any serious digger stop.

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.
