Jazz Fusion, Funk, Jazz Funk, 1976-os album.
Remaszterizált Limited edition CD újra kiadás, 2022.
Classic jazz-funk fusion from the late, great Japanese guitarist Ryo Kawasaki. Recorded in New York, and originally released in 1976, ‘Juice’ presents Ryo at the height of his powers. ‘Juice’ has become a much-loved album for crate diggers and jazz-funk enthusiasts, with its tracks frequently being sampled and re-imagined in hip-hop. The smokey, beat-down, spiritual funk jam ‘Bamboo Child’ has been flipped by Diamond D, Puff Daddy, and Kool G Rap.
The album was released in 1976 on RCA Records and features the musicians’ drummer Jimmy Young, rhythm guitarist Hugh McCracken, and bassist Stu Woods amongst other luminaries. A solid album throughout that incorporates a heavy dose of tripped-out synths alongside the emerging disco sound of the time. Tracks such as the opener ‘Raisins’, with its drum beat intro and bubbling bass-line, rivals The Headhunters at their finest. A superb album from an underground legend.
