Terumasa Hino – Daydream
Terumasa Hino – Daydream
Comments: Japan Original Pressing.
Terumasa Hino “Daydream” is a 1980 New York–recorded jazz-funk / AOR crossover where Hino’s trumpet is wrapped in deluxe session work from Leon Pendarvis, Luther Vandross, Steve Gadd, Anthony Jackson, John Tropea, Nana Vasconcelos, Dave Liebman and a guest appearance by Michael Brecker. “Still Be Bop” opens with sharp, driving fusion, “Late Summer” and “La Hora Azul” sink into warm, late-evening grooves, and “Sweeter & Sweeter” plus “Goin’ For The Gold” bring full-on soul flavor with Vandross’s vocals and sample-friendly drums, Rhodes and Brazilian-flavored percussion. It’s one of Hino’s most accessible and soulful sets, perfectly between NYC studio slickness and Japanese jazz sensibility.

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.
