First of all, we have to point out the cover painting of Cadillac Woman-- which is really something.
I mean-- what can you even say to that one? I have to wonder if the painting originally had the electrical wire coming out from further down and it had to be adjusted?
Here's some more from Isao Suzuki, again it's really hit and miss with some albums overloaded with standards but once in a while a well composed or fusiony track appears like the summer sun through a dark expanse of threatening and ugly storm clouds of generic nauseating jazz standards. His bio borrowed from discogs:
From the Cadillac Woman LP (1977) I love the intricacies of the post-bop riff on a track called Bamboo:
The title track of Push (which is a collaboration composition from the 2 of them) from the 1978 album with singer Niroko Miyamoto is remarkably progressive for a pure funk track:

ReplyDeleteHi, Julian. Please help me find the discography of Japanese jazz flutist Tamami Koyake (interest to Someday - い・つ・か). I think it fits the blog very well. Thanks.
Dear Julian, I'm looking for this album, can you help me? "Matter Of Taste – It's Only A Matter Of Taste" 1979 Flame Records

Ciao, l'illustrazione di "cadillac Woman" mi ricorda tantissimo lo stile del disegnatore italiani Tanino Liberatore
ReplyDeleteCi ho sempre pensato anch'io, mi fa piacere sapere di non essere il solo, in effetti potrebbe raffigurare una delle donne del mitico Ranxerox, ma la sua prima apparizione è del 1978 sulla rivista "Cannibale" mentre l'album di Isao Suzuki è del 1977 e il disegno in copertina è del designer Katsu Yoshida. Da ricordare che Tanino Liberatore ha poi creato la copertina di "The Man from Utopia" di Frank Zappa

DeleteI’ve often thought the same thing myself, so it’s good to know I’m not alone; indeed, she could easily be one of the women from the legendary *Ranxerox* series. However, that character first appeared in 1978 in the magazine *Cannibale*, whereas Isao Suzuki’s album dates back to 1977, and the cover art was created by designer Katsu Yoshida. It is also worth noting that Tanino Liberatore later created the cover for Frank Zappa’s *The Man from Utopia*.
