CADILLAC WOMAN (1977)

A gem of a crossover album from Isao Suzuki, who has continued to lead the Japanese jazz scene as a bassist. Capturing the vibrant energy of the 1970s, this record has been rediscovered by club music aficionados and rare groove collectors alike. The album fuses Van Morrison–like bluesy grooves with deep funk and jazz sensibilities, along with a uniquely Japanese melodic sense.
