Japanese jazz, rare groove masterpiece re-released on clear lime yellow colour vinyl!

The pleasure of feeling numb all over your body with a single drumbeat. Akira Ishikawa, the super funky drummer born in Japan, runs through a wonderland of grooves!

Akira Ishikawa is a super funky drummer born in Japan. His ability to freely explore and fuse jazz, rock, and African music to create a unique musicality has been highly

praised in many fields. His career includes masterpieces from jazz rock to rare groove, but this work is especially beloved for its outstanding song selection and exciting musicality.

"Let's Start" is a tight cover of Fela Kuti's Afro-funk, ""Bongo Rock"" is a dynamic song with drum breaks, and "Pick Up the Pieces" is a jazz-funk version of the Average White Band's

classic song. It is full of amazing monster tunes that are hard to believe were recorded in 1975. Support from masters such as Kiyoshi Sugimoto, Hiromasa Suzuki, and Takeru Muraoka also shines.
