Once again, Japanese crossover/fusion is heating up. As a development or spin-off from the global reappraisal boom of city pop, Japanese fusion has rapidly come back into the spotlight since around last year.
Artist: Casiopea
Genre: Japanese Jazz/Funk
Label: Universal Music Japan
Celebrating their 10th anniversary, Casiopea decided to leave their longtime label, Alpha Records, and launch their own label, Aura, under Polydor (now Universal Music), releasing their first album since then. Recorded in New York, they introduced the sharp dance beats that were popular at the time. This album is a fresh start, featuring a lively groove. Participants include popular Brazilian singer-songwriter Djavan, whom the band met on their South American tour the previous year; percussionist Steve Thornton, who has performed with Miles Davis and Sadao Watanabe; and renowned saxophonist Lenny Pickett, who was also a member of Tower of Power. (Original release: 1987)
