Jiro Inagaki and Soul Media / MEMORY LANE (LP)

[Released on 2/15] Soul Media led by Jiro Inagaki, who played a part in the development of Japanese jazz rock. The last work under the same name was ``Memory Lane'', recorded in 1980. Inagaki says of this work, ``We created this work while anticipating the fate of fusion music,'' and it is true that the sound is completely different from the average fusion music. The mellow and emotional "Memory Lane," the stormy and refreshing "I Will Give You Samba," and the groovy and edgy "Take My Hand." The sound he created together with his ally Norio Maeda, with an eye on the future, has an extraordinary level of perfection in terms of composition, arrangement, and performance. Listening to it now, it is still a vivid and refreshing masterpiece.
