Description
Ultra-rare jazz-funk/fusion album by Japanese drummer, Akira Ishikawa.
Featuring percussion-heavy versions of 'Let's Start', 'Bongo Rock' and 'Pick Up
The Pieces'. 'Back To Rhythm' was the final recording in Ishikawa's African-influenced period. He cut this record with his band 'Count Buffalos', featuring Kiyoshi Sugimoto, Takeru Muraoka, Larry Sunaga and arranger Hiromasa Suzuki.
Includes excellent cover versions of The Beatles, Simon & Garfunkel, BT
Express, Stevie Wonder, Average White Band, Incredible Bongo Band and Fela Kuti.
Originally released in Japan in 1975 by Columbia, this is now extremely
difficult to find in its original format, and very pricey indeed!
