Japanese Jazz, or rather, "Wa-Mono" (Japanese music) or "Wa-Fusion," I suppose. "Goin' Away" Mikio Masuda (Miko Masuda) This is an analog record. Electric Bird, probably the first pressing. This guy, it says "Prince" (as in the musician), and that's kind of the vibe. He's my type. Not in a weird way. A bit aloof. He worked with Terumasa Hino, with Sadao Watanabe, and he's always around jazz leaders. He's like a favorite, similar to Duke Jordan's position. Though the songs are different. Then he went to New York and did what he wanted, at his own pace. He seems to have had fun working with Mike Brecker and others. He even included female chorus. A relaxed feeling. On Electric Bird, he recorded the masterpiece "Silver Shadow" – for me, at least. I chased after it after hearing that. I was working in Shinjuku around that time, and I was drawn to that city feeling. – A country boy, that's me. I have this album, but I won't sell it. Haha. Side A is all original compositions. I want to listen to it leisurely in the morning sun, while drinking coffee. It's good. #BonboriJazzRecords ^_^ This record was purchased and stored by me about 40 years ago.
