Who doesn’t love stumbling across great records on the web? Skip Step Colgen from 1977 is Japanese Jazz fusion at its highest level. Give it a listen and immerse yourself as best you can. It’s a fantastic listen and I’m happy to come across it this morning. I’ll be sure to check it out more from Hiromasa Suzuki.
