Refined and passionate crossover jazz from this legendary session group.
A rare record released during the jazz fusion boom in 1979. A crystallization of the techniques and grooves of studio musicians.
"Session II" is a self-titled album by the project group "Session II," which was formed by studio musicians from Japan and abroad against the backdrop of the jazz fusion trend that emerged in the late 1970s. As the "II" in the group's name suggests, the first session was already well-received, and this sequel features an even more sophisticated ensemble and performances that skillfully incorporate a variety of genres such as funk, Latin, and blues. The spirit of Japanese urban jazz fusion and the atmosphere of the American West Coast style of the time are exquisitely mixed together to create an urban and smooth sound world like a movie soundtrack. Although the players' personalities clash, the result is a meticulously constructed piece of music, and it is a hidden masterpiece that is still highly valued by collectors today.
