Released in 1983, this was the debut album of Ken Muramatsu, who was only 21 years old at the time of its release.
From mellow songs to groove-driven tracks that would later be called British Jazz Funk, Ken Muramatsu's piano plays melodies against the backdrop of perfect arrangements. A J-FUSION masterpiece whose CD has been out of print for a long time!
