A 94Q classic right here! This is a fantastic, and extremely rare CD copy of a sublime fusion album that has always been very hard to track down, even since its debut. Bassist Teruo Nakamura has a lot of ‘Super Friends’ to play with on this outstanding album that I consider the gold standard of 80s jazz fusion!
-----------
I bought this CD imported from Japan a while back, I had been looking for the album ever since I heard “Toe to Toe” on 94Q back in 1986. Despite having an all-star lineup, this album is hard to find, especially on CD! Saw one sealed copy for sale for $100 a few years ago.
-----------
I accidentally swapped track 1 & 2 while editing the video, “When You’re Near” is actually track 1 ↓↓↓

If any of you remember Mark Grey & Superfriends ‘Night Watch’ LP from 1984, ‘La Chant’ from this album has some resemblance to “Her Sweetness” by Mark Grey. I posted that track years ago.

Toe-2-Toe is one of my top faves since last night's program of WQNA - "The Breeze".

Great album, thank you for the upload! Is it just me, or do the drums sound a bit weird at 8:47/8:48 in "When You're Near"? At first, I thought there was something wrong with the recording, but now I wonder if the playing is slightly off. Honestly not really sure 🤔

Thanks, Kyle, for posting this gem of a record. "Hip Pocket" is my favorite from here.

Awesome! A lot of this I'm sure was played on 94Q, but I definitely remember Toe to Toe with Michael Brecker on EWI. Such a fun album!

@alexthedrumdude 4 жыл бұрын

@@KJCMuziqueOh, I love "Toe to Toe" as well. Had no idea that was Michael Brecker on the EWI (I thought that was a synth player for the longest time).

Fire Toolz is correct! There are quite a few super stars on this album. Hard to find so many on one album. I only see Teruo Nakamura on two songs here. Did he write or arrange the music I wonder. A gain thanks KJ, we would have never heard this otherwise.

Sure thing, Teruo both performed and produced on this album

Did they not credit the drummer on "Hip Pocket?" Sounds like Steve Gadd, if you ask me.

@KJCMuzique 3 жыл бұрын

It is Steve Gadd, he is the drummer on all the tracks

Marcus Miller Ive heard that name before. Great bass player. This must have been import to Japan than exported back to you a la' 60 dollara for a copy. lol

The CD copy is very rare and hard to find of this, that's why it was so expensive. You can buy the LP cheaper. Yes this album has some big names on it!
