Hiroshi Itsuki / Las Vegas on Stage (original 1976)

A killer live album packed with funky brass, jazz-funk, and brass rock. Highlights include the groovy “Yogisha no Onna,” the explosive brass-rock “Viva Summer,” a dope blaxploitation-style take on “Soran Bushi,” and the thrilling “Yokohama no Mary.” With punchy arrangements reminiscent of Eiko Shuri's live recordings, this long-time favorite among Japanese DJs is full of sample-friendly grooves.
