WATER

Water is Masabumi Kikuchi's masterwork of synthesizer and jazz fusion. Recorded at Cracker-Jap Studio in New York between 1984 and 1986 with producer Kenny Inaoka, the album blends ambient textures with intricate jazz arrangements across five standout tracks: "Moon Splash," "Spectrum," "Aurola," "Blue Spring," and "Water Song." Kikuchi's innovative approach to electronic and organic elements creates a fluid, ever-shifting sonic landscape that established his legacy as a pioneering voice in modern jazz.
