Masaru Imada/ Blue Marine (original 1982)

A 1982 album by acclaimed jazz pianist Masaru Imada, recorded in both Tokyo and New York.

Highlights include the mellow jazz-funk gem Blue Marine, which opens with a tight drum break, the funky Jumpin' Dolphin, the breezy groove of Smile For You, and the Latin jazz-flavored Street Dancer. A superb blend of jazz, fusion, and groove-driven performances throughout.
