Description:

[J-FUSION 40th ANNIVERSARY SHM-CD COLLECTION 1300] J-FUSION's 40th Anniversary! The year 2017 marks the 40th anniversary of Naoya Matsuoka's debut, the 40th anniversary of Prism's debut, and the 40th anniversary of the formation of Cassiopeia, and WMJ is taking advantage of this timing to re-release the entire J-FUSION catalog for four consecutive months at a time for the limited price of 1,300 yen (excluding tax) on high-quality SHM-CD! This is the first solo album recorded with top local musicians in New York after Wissing stopped its activities. (This album is a historical masterpiece that successfully recorded with Latin and Jazz musicians, which was rarely done even in New York, the home of Latin and Jazz music. The elimination of the horn section allowed the melodies to stand out more, creating a new Latin fusion sound that was different from that of Wishing. Included "MIRAGE," which was used in a car commercial and became a hot topic at the time. Members: NAOYA MATSUOKA(key), ROLAND VAZQUEZ(ds), OMAR HAKIM(ds), FRANCISCO CENTENO(b), DEAN BROWN(g), NICKY MARRERO(timbales), RAY BARRETTO( congas), JERRY GONZALEZ(congas), JOSE MANGUAL Jr.(perc), RAY MALDONADO(tp)
