It easily straddles jazz rock and fusion. Mellow, stormy, and groovy. The sound of the future born in 1980 is still vivid and fresh when listened to today. Soul Media, led by Jiro Inagaki, played a part in the development of jazz rock in Japan. This work, 'Memory Lane' recorded in 1980, was the final work under the same name. Inagaki said about this work, 'We tried to create this work while predicting the fate of fusion music' and it is true that the sound is completely different from ordinary fusion. The mellow and emotional 'Memory Lane' the stormy and refreshing 'I Will Give You Samba' and the groovy and edgy 'Take My Hand'. The sound that was created with his ally Norio Maeda, which looks the future, is of an extraordinary level of perfection in the songs, arrangements, and performances. It is a masterpiece that is still vivid and fresh when listened to today. text by Yusuke Ogawa (UNIVERSOUNDS/DEEP JAZZ REALITY)
