The most powerful funky-groovy jazz band in Japan.
Formed in 1977; did their first US tour in 1979, signed with CBS Sony in 1982. Doing more than 160 shows a year nationwide, the group soon established their reputation as the best jazz/fusion band in Japan. The group decided to split in 1986 and the members pursued their solo careers. After 14 years of performing separately, the members got back together in 2000 and released an album in 2003. They are now officially back together as the leading jazz/fusion group in Japan!
This movie is an excerpt ver. of their concert in the Jazz/Fusion Festival "Crossover Japan '05".
Please get whole concert's DVD which includes 3 hours live performance by 10 bands at your nearest retailer!
