It was over nine years ago when I first wrote about jazz guitarist Kazumasa Akiyama(秋山一将)and his strutworthy title track from his 1978 "Dig My Style". Well, apologies on nearly a decade passing before putting up the second article.
Anyways, from that same album, I present you with "I Believe in You" which has got a lot more coffee and Red Bull coursing through Akiyama's veins. Instead of merely strutting down a Shinjuku street, this nearly 8-minute track is a spirited ride on the Tokyo highways with plenty of warp-speed guitar playing and thrumming bass. Must have been a fun time in one of the biggest metropolises on Earth at the time.
Thank you for introducing me to this one! If this is one the itune store I am going to get it!
ReplyDeleteHope the rest of the album is fine with you!
DeleteIf the following link represents the rest of the album, then I think I am impressed! I love that no two songs are alike, because of that this is the kind of album that would be hard to get bored or tired of.
