A pure masterpiece shines once again.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAffectionately known among fans as Mabumi no Senpuuki (Mabumi's Electric Fan), \"Leeward\" is a highly acclaimed album by saxophonist Mabumi Yamaguchi, who had previously performed with the George Otsuka Group and the Korgen Band (later known as The Players). Recorded in 1978, it was Yamaguchi's second album as a leader.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe album consists of four compositions: \"Dawn,\" \"Dewdrop,\" \"Distant Thunder,\" and \"Leeward.\" The titles and musical themes resonate with one another, creating vivid images that unfold before the listener.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe grooves combine remarkable dynamism with supple rhythmic energy, while the melodies are both dignified and deeply moving. Hard bop, jazz-rock, fusion. All of these descriptions apply, yet none truly captures the essence of the music.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis album needs no labels or categorization. It is, quite simply, a pure masterpiece.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eText by Yusuke Ogawa (UNIVERSOUNDS \/ DEEP JAZZ REALITY)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eTracklist:\u003cbr\u003eSide A\u003cbr\u003e01.
