4580016830045
Taku Yabuki is a Japanese keyboardist, best known to Wayside’s audience as the keybordist of Koenjihyakkei.
This is one of a number of solo releases he has recorded and this one is heavily in the fusion genre, with nods to progressive rock. As such, it reminds me of some of the classic fusion / progressive works that David Sancious made in the mid 70s, except with a much larger group of players here and perhaps a bit heavier (it is 50 quite heavy years later, after all....)
There’s a lot of guest players here, some of whom are quite well known, including Frank Gambale, Ginaluca Ferro, Marco Sfogli, Allen Hinds, Philip Bynoe and Marco Minnemann.
