Yasuaki Shimizu “Kakashi” LP

Kakashi puts the focus on jazz, soul, and blues-rooted musicianship with strong ensemble interplay.

• Shimizu brings saxophone into a highly rhythmic mix of art-pop, jazz, electronics, and Japanese new-wave experimentation.
• The arrangements favor atmosphere and texture as much as conventional song form, with crisp percussion and unusual studio color throughout.
• The album has grown into a cult favorite for listeners exploring the adventurous side of early-1980s Japanese music.

For fans of classic jazz, soul, and blues catalog staples.
