``This album is the result of the meeting of Hiroshi Kubota and the Yamaha Electone FX-1``
"The first LP consists of standard jazz numbers ; you will be enchanted with the Count Basie and Glen Miller pieces... The second LP offers a funky disco fusion that includes four original pieces. These emphasize Hiroshi's unique personality. The music included is favored by those who have a thorough knowledge of and enthusiasm for jazz, such as the numbers of the Brecker Brothers and Herbie Hancock. Hiroshi's four original pieces represent an ideal style of music with dynamic and exciting rhythm, lyrical melodies and a fresh, delicate feeling..."
