Mine, Kosuke - Sunshower
SKU
15-CJ-UCCJ-9168
If you like the electric 70s jazz/rock sound, there's a lot of great releases from the 70s and into the 80s from the Japanese jazz scene that is well worth investigating. This one is very reminiscent of late period Mwandishi / early period Headhunters Herbie, with some great grooves, great playing, and a touch 'o' da funk!
The band here is Kohsuke Mine-soprano & tenor sax, Mikio Masuda-clavinet, Yamaha organ, ARP string ensemble & Korg synths, Hiroshi Yasukawa-electric guitar, Hideaki Mochizuki-acoustic bass, Arihide Kurata-drums and Hideo Miyata-percussion.
Even though Mine is the leader, the main soloist is Masuda on his big arsenal of electric keyboards.
AFAIK, this has never been out on CD before! Now, it's a relative bargain, especially for a legit, Japanese issue!
