Toshiyuki Honda – Burnin' Waves
Toshiyuki Honda – Burnin' Waves
Comments: Japan Original Pressing.
Toshiyuki Honda’s debut Burnin’ Waves (1978, Electric Bird) is a blazing Japanese jazz-funk session with the core of Seawind — Larry Williams, Jerry Hey, Bud Nuanez, Ken Wild, Bob Wilson and vocalist Pauline Wilson — all arranged and conducted by Chikara Ueda. The title track and Thunder Kiss hit hard with tight horns and thick basslines that are perfect for DJs and beatmakers, while Just A Dream Away slides into warm mid-tempo fusion and Havana Candy delivers a Brazilian-flavored crossover tune led by Pauline Wilson’s soulful voice. A killer blend of deep Japanese fusion and West Coast studio power that works both as a front-to-back listen and as a source of club-ready cuts.

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.
