JIRO INAGAKI & HIS SOUL MEDIA - FUNKY STUFF (2026 REPRESS) (UNCOLORED VIRGIN VINYL)

Opis:

A masterpiece of jazz rock by true master Jiro Inagaki.

Beyond jazz rock.

What Soul Media, led by Jiro Inagaki, ultimately arrived at was a tight, cool, and ultimate groove.

As Inagaki himself has stated that he “played black funk” on this album, the explosive jazz-rock foundation he had cultivated up to that point is fused with the stickiness, elasticity, and physicality of black music—elevating his musical vision to an entirely new dimension. Combined with the masterful arrangements of Hiromasa Suzuki, the groove is polished to a high sheen, growing richer, more fluid, and subtly seductive.

Every track stands out: the vibrant, driving energy of “Painted Paradise”; the coexistence of funkiness and mellowness on “Breeze”; and the low-slung, razor-sharp cover of Kool & The Gang’s “Funky Stuff”.

Now regarded as a definitive classic, this album remains in constant demand from listeners around the world.
