Seventh Avenue South is a sophisticated masterclass in City Pop and jazz-fusion, famously recorded by Japanese singer-songwriter Yoshitaka Minami directly in New York City. Arranged by R&B maestro Leon Pendarvis and mastered by the legendary Bernie Grundman, the album trades sunny beachside tropes for a mature, late-night Manhattan atmosphere blending Cool Jazz, Bossa Nova, and Funk. Minami’s smooth, suave vocals effortlessly anchor the international studio band, creating a cohesive, rainy-day urban soundtrack highlighted by slick tracks like "Scotch and Rain". Ultimately, it is an essential listen for anyone wanting to experience the absolute peak of cross-cultural, high-production '80s Japanese pop.

Genre: Pop, Latin, Jazz, Funk, and Soul
