A masterpiece of jazz rock by the master, Jiro Inagaki! Going beyond jazz rock. Soul Media, led by Jiro Inagaki, has arrived at a tight and cool ultimate groove. As Inagaki himself said, 'I did black funk' by fusing the explosiveness of jazz rock that he had cultivated up until then with the tenacity and elasticity of black music, his musicality has leapt to another dimension. Combined with the ingenious arrangements of master Hiromasa Suzuki, the groove is polished, glossy, and shining mysteriously. All the songs are worth listening to, such as the dynamism and speed of 'Painted Paradise' the coexistence of funkiness and mellowness of 'Breeze' and the low-centered and sharp cover of Cool & the Gang's 'Funky Stuff'. It is now a definitive masterpiece that is in demand all over the world. text by Yusuke Ogawa (UNIVERSOUNDS/DEEP JAZZ REALITY)
