Review: First out in 1975 on Nippon Columbia, Funky Stuff stamped the seal on Jiro Inagaki's jazz rock period - and what a finale. With pianist Hiromasa Suzuki handling writing and arrangement, the album leans hard into punchy psych, fuzzwacked guitar, rubbery bass, brass stabs and whip-tight drums; Suzuki conducts things sharply and melodically, steering Soul Media into tighter territory. Inagaki, who'd previously led The Soul Mates and His Black Rhythm Machine, praised Suzuki's knack for bold ideas and memorable phrasing, a quality clearly running through this set. The sound is tight and bright; less freeform jam, more focused funk workout, catching 70s Japanese jazz as it shimmies in Cuban motion toward the dancefloor.

Samba Chimba
Review: By 1973, Soul Media, formed in Tokyo by saxophonist Jiro Inagaki, had spent a good many years blurring the lines of jazz and rock, of course in what we Westerners would interpret as distinctive "J import" style. With In the Groove, their studio output took a decisive leap, injecting a tighter funk sensibility into an already well oiled jazz membrane. Refusing to mimic the overseas jazz-funk scene, Inagaki and his band offered their own take: confident, dynamic and layered with a distinctly Japanese stance on groove and arrangement. The Crusaders' influence looms large, where Inagaki was closely following their evolution. But this isn't aphonic pastiche; the record finds its own voice in its interplays of brass and rhythm, with 'That's How I Feel' causing a slow trickle then downpour of funktastic piano-funk flections to come, such as 'Joie De Vivre', 'Papa Hooper's Barrel House Groove' and the brilliantly corvine 'Raven Speaks'.

Romance
Review: We Release Jazz proudly purr-loins Hiroshi Suzuki's jazz-fusion-funk gem Cat, first recorded in 1975 and released in 76. With liner notes by Edo jazz critic Teruo Isono, the scene is painted in vivid detail: after moving to LV in 1971 to record with Buddy Rich, Suzuki returned to Japan for a two-day session at Nippon Columbia. What he'd learned from Rich stuck to him like sticky viscidia, resulting in a smooth cross-pollination, spotlighting Suzuki's trombone and Takeru Muraoka's saxophone: this tomcat's territory had been assuredly marked. A prized find among jazz collectors and lofi beat remakers alike, Cat sits alongside Ryo Fukui's Scenery as a supernovaic classic of Japanese jazz.

Bye Bye So Long
Review: The final album from Tokyo's Soul Media marks a shift from 70s jazz-rock towards something richer, more refined i less about force, more about feel. Jiro Inagaki's soundworld here is open-ended but precise, framed by Norio Maeda's meticulous arrangements and a studio band that breathes through every turn. 'Memory Lane' is as mellow as its name implies, full of soft brass swells and swirling keys that hint at nostalgia without sinking into it. 'I Will Give You Samba' offers contrast i sharp-edged, quick-stepping and filled with rhythmic crosscurrents, while 'Take My Hand' struts with effortless cool, its groove compact but expressive. The palette is wide, from ballads like 'Dried Flowers' to the cinematic sweep of 'Double Images', all held together by a sense of elegant restraint. Everything is placed just so i from Eri Ohno's gliding vocals to Tadayuki Harada's moody baritone i but nothing feels stiff. This isn't fusion in the usual sense: it's more like the closing of one chapter, the opening of another, and a deliberate nod to a musical future Inagaki seemed to sense coming. Still a vivid listen today, it's far more than just a footnote in Japanese jazz history.

Out Of Focus
Review: In the 70s, Hiromasa Suzuki's synthfluence knew few bounds. A key architect of 70s jazz, the keyboardist's seventh LP High Flying heard him heighten his parabola, enlisting a killer ensemble including Jiro Inagaki, Jun Fukamachi, Shuichi Murakami and Kayoko Ishu to produce a dense cyclorama of cosmic funk and jazz fusion. Suzuki's arrangements are restless and daring, with opener 'High Flying' leading the way through pearly angelics and attention-grabbing title sequence vocals, before clincher bodyworkers like 'Screwdriver', 'Smash' and 'Out Of Focus' pitch heady reprogrammable synth patches against fiery rhythm sections. Having then already shaped defining moments for Terumasa Hino and Akira Ishikawa, Suzuki here pushed even further. Pressed and printed in Japan, and with due respect to original intent, no digital release planned.
