Description

Rediscover the magic of Kaze with the special 180-gram vinyl edition of their iconic album, "Umikaze." Formed by Ise Shozo and Okubo Kazuhisa in 1975, this legendary folk duo recorded their fourth original album in Los Angeles, marking their first overseas recording experience.

In the relaxed atmosphere of LA, "Umikaze" was crafted with contributions from both local musicians like R.A. Martin and Geffrey Hales, and prominent Japanese artists including Mizutani Kimio, Sato Jun, Takebe Hideaki, and Moriya Jun. This blend of talents resulted in a serene gem that adopted the California sound, reflecting the newest trends in music such as fusion and crossover.

Originally released in 1977, "Umikaze" features 11 tracks, including the titular track "Umikaze" with its beautiful intro riff. Don't miss the chance to own this album on high-quality 180-gram vinyl, bringing you closer to the rich, warm sound of this classic recording.
