This album was released in 1981 by Soul Media, a group formed in 1969 by saxophonist Jiro Inagaki, who had been active in Japan's jazz scene since the 1950s. Conceived with the idea of being ahead of the popular crossover and fusion trends of the time, the album features danceable performances throughout, with female choruses featured on almost every track. Highlights include the smooth, mellow Brazilian number on side A1, the groovy samba jazz on side A3, and the disco-infused rhythm section and rich keyboard sounds on side B3. This is a 2023 reissue.
A1: Memory Lane
A3: I will Give You Samba
