Description

[Crossover & Fusion 1000] The new “Crossover & Fusion 1000” series is a spin-off of the highly successful “Jazz Collection 1000” series launched in 2014. Like the Jazz Collection 1000 series, the new “Crossover & Fusion 1000” series is carefully selected from Sony Music’s extensive catalog, focusing on Columbia and RCA, the two major labels in the United States. The 100 titles (Volume 1: 50 titles released on April 27, Volume 2: 50 titles released on May 25) are released at the special price of 1,000 yen plus tax (1,500 yen plus tax for the 2-disc set), ranging from major masterpieces to works that have long been desired for reissue and rare works that are being released on CD for the first time. The first release of the fusion unit formed by Sato Masahiko, a brilliant musician who continues to lead the Japanese jazz scene, is finally available on CD for the first time. Sato’s ever-changing keyboards and songwriting, and the superb playing of Yasuaki Shimizu, Hideo Yamaki, and others carry the thrill beyond time and space. Starting with “Saga Unknown” with its dramatic development, every number leaves a strong impression. ◆Limited Time Limited Special Price Edition (through December 31, 2017) / Liner notes / First CD release
