Hiroshi Fukumura with Sadao Watanabe/ Hunt Up Wind (original 1978)

A classic 1980 Japanese jazz fusion album by trombonist Hiroshi Fukumura. Highlights include the uplifting title track “Hunt Up Wind,” the mellow jazz gem “White Clouds” — sampled in O.C.’s “The Chosen One” — and the groove-heavy “Captain Caribe,” opening with a tight drum break. A standout wa-jazz / fusion masterpiece.
