Limited reissue of Isao Suzuki's ambitious 1978 album, featuring his "New Family": pianist Masayoshi Yoneda, guitarist Takayuki Katoh, drummer Shigeo Hirayama, and trumpeter Shuji Miyake. A striking blend of jazz funk, Latin jazz, free improvisation, and a Miles Davis tribute. Suzuki, known as the 'Jazz Godfather', brings decades of experience from sessions with Art Blakey, Sadao Watanabe, and Baden Powell. The fourth release in Victor's "Spin This Now!" series captures a pivotal moment in Japanese jazz.
