Japanese jazz-funk and fusion masterpiece from 1981, led by saxophonist Genji Sawai with Bacon Egg. Highlights include Mari Kaneko’s scatted, mellow jazz-funk “Hand and Foot” with a mid-track percussion break; the floating, soulful “Morning Breeze” reminiscent of Lonnie Liston Smith; smooth guitar and electric piano with scatted vocals on the exquisite fusion track “What Comes Next?”; and standout jazz-funk cuts “SKIPJACK” and “Way Out Step”, rivaling international releases in quality. |
