A 1979 release by drummer Johnny Yoshinaga’s group Johnny Yoshinaga & Jogging Staff, featuring backing from Genji Sawai, Yoshihiro Naruse, and Mac Shimizu. Highlights include the deep African groove “African Juice,” the smooth jazz-rock fusion “Sky Juice,” the fusion boogie cut “Coke Juice,” and the breezy Latin fusion “Marine Juice.” Across all six tracks, the band’s exceptional musicianship and effortlessly steady groove make this an incredibly satisfying listen.
