Once again, Japanese crossover/fusion is hot right now!
As a development of, or spin-off phenomenon from, the global boom in the reappraisal of city pop, Japanese fusion has surged rapidly since around last year. Kiyoshi Sugimoto, who honed his jazz guitar skills with the Terumasa Hino Group and the Akira Ishikawa Count Buffaloes while also working extensively as a session musician across kayokyoku, enka, and pop music, released his first leader album in 1969. He subsequently began pursuing a gradually more crossover-oriented sound, culminating in the release of "L.A. MASTER" in 1978, an album for which he composed and arranged all tracks himself. The recording members include Yasuaki Shimizu (sax), Haruo Togashi (keyboards), Akira Okazawa (bass), Yuichi Togashiki (drums), as well as Jun Fukamachi (keyboards) and Tsunehide Matsuki (guitar). Leading this group of outstanding young musicians of the time, Sugimoto showcases precise guitar playing and refined musical sensibility. This marks the album's first reissue.
