Killer jazz-funk from Japan here!
Since turning professional in 1960, guitarist Kiyoshi Sugimoto had been active in many sessions and recordings. From the latter half of the 1960s, he joined groups with Hideo Shiraki, Akira Ishikawa, and Terumasa Hino, gaining attention in the scene, and also solidifying his position with his albums as a leader, such as the magnificent β€œCountry Dream” in 1970 and β€œBabylonia Wind” in 1972. β€œOur Time” was recorded with Akira Ishikawa on drums, Hiromasa Suzuki on electric piano and other great musicians right after Sugimoto studied in America for about a year. This album finally gets a much deserved reissue and is an essential addition to any WaJazz and Wamono groovers’ collection!
