Now Sound by Love Live Life and Kosuke Ishihara, from 1975

Obviously a well-known band to both prog and fusion fans, this is a lesser known but significant work from their best days.  From discogs:

Love Live Life were an important seminal hub of Japanese rock, a stepping stone between the beat of the 1960s and more experimental rock of the 1970s. They are best-known for the heavy blues rock album Love Will Make A Better You, featuring guest star Kimio Mizutani. However they made another album largely devoid of English text on the cover, mysteriously titled 10 Chapters Of Murder - from Colin Wilson's "Encyclopaedia of Murder" according to the labels, which was some sort of conceptual rock outing with brassy, jazz and soul elements.

Actually that 'second album' proved very disappointing.  And in reality they made quite a few albums back in the day, all quite rare.

Note the nice Beatlesian tendencies on this flute solo which is the A4 track:

As for Kosuke Ishihara, from discogs:

Japanese saxophonist, composer and arranger. Born in Tokyo in August 1936.

As an all-instrumental library album with a great mix of funk and fusion, this is really excellent.

I'll throw in the 1973 album Ishihara did with the great Masahiko Sato, called Rumour, much freer and less enjoyable (for me).
