Cat was recorded in October 1975 at at Nippon Columbia Studio, while Hiroshi Suzuki was visiting his home country of Japan after moving to Las Vegas in 1971 to play with Buddy Rich and perfect his craft. Back on his old stomping grounds, the man known as Neko (Cat) immediately reunited with his dear friends for an epic two day session of groove magic. The chemistry was still intact. The skills and style had grown. Cat is a smooth, deep and soulful masterpiece. The album also features Takeru Muraoka on sax, Hiromasa Suzuki on keys, Kunimitsu Inaba on bass and Akira Ishikawa on drums.
