Woodstock Generation (vinyl LP)

Finally this lost gem left by Jiro Inagaki's Soul Media has been repressed on vinyl thanks to Cinedelic Records. "Woodstock Generation" is a masterpiece of Japanese jazz/rock funk/soul that it is even considered better then the acclaimed "Head Rock" in terms of perfection. Surely there are many points in common between the two albums, which were recorded just months apart during 1970. Hidden behind "The Soul Medium" is saxophonist Jiro Inagaki, an iconic figure of the japanese Jazz Rock scene during the late '60s and early '70s. Jiro is supported by his legendary quintet, Soul Media, in their first incarnation featuring Ryo Kawasaki (guitar), Yasuo Arakawa (bass), Masaru Imada (organ) and Sadakazu Tabata (drums), with Tetsuo Fushimi and Shunzo Ohno on trumpet.
