Back to the Sea is the debut album by the Japanese big band Bingo Miki & Inner Galaxy Orchestra, released in 1978. A fusion and contemporary jazz record, it was produced by the legendary Japanese jazz label Three Blind Mice and earned a prestigious Jazz Disk Award in Japan. This timeless album showcases one of Japan’s most distinctive big bands from the 1970s, blending intricate keyboard melodies with dynamic horn sections. Unlike European electric big bands of the era, this group delivers a cohesive sound that emphasizes collective expression over individual solos, yet remains rich in character and emotional depth.
