Jiro Inagaki and Seoul Media / FUNKY STUFF (LP)

Beyond jazz rock. Soul Media, led by Jiro Inagaki, has arrived at the ultimate tight and cool groove. As Inagaki himself said, “I did black funk,” by fusing the explosive feeling of jazz rock that he had cultivated up to that point with the tenacity and elasticity of black music, his musicality took him to another dimension. and jumped. Combined with the masterful arrangement of Hiromasa Suzuki, the groove is polished, lustrous, and mysteriously shining. "Painted Paradise" full of dynamism and sprinting, "Breeze" where funkness and mellowness coexist, and a cover of Cool & The Gang's "Funky Stuff" with a low center of gravity and sharpness are highlights. It is now a decisive masterpiece that continues to be wanted from all over the world.
