Kawasaki, Ryo - Prism CD
SKU
URP-UCCJ-9157
If you like the electric 70s period of Miles and other electric jazz/fusion of the 70s, there's a lot of great releases from the 70s and into the 80s from the Japanese jazz scene that is well worth investigating.
Ryo Kawasaki was one of the first Japanese jazz musicians to make a name in the USA, releasing a number of albums on RCA in the 70s and playing with heavy hitters of the day (I saw him in late spring 1975 at the Village Vanguard with Elvin Jones).
This is an electric, funky fusion release from 1976. The line up is Phil Clendeninn-Rhodes, Clavinet, ARP Odyssey & string ensemble, Herb Bushler-electric bass, Buddy Williams, drums, Abdullah-congas & percussion, Steve Turre-shell, percussion & Ryo on guitar.
