Jiro Inagaki & His Soul Media - In the Groove - LP (1973) Columbia - CD (2012) Columbia (FLAC) - Rare Japanese Jazz/Funk

Jiro Inagaki was born October 3, 1933 is a Japanese jazz saxophonist, bandleader, and producer. He plays tenor saxophone, soprano saxophone, flute, and occasionally alto saxophone. Inagaki formed the jazz/Soul/Funk band "Jiro Inagaki & Soul Media" in 1969, which was active throughout the 1970s and included Shunzo Ohno, Tetsuo Fushimi, and  Ryo Kawasaki (guitar); Masahiko Satoh (piano, arranger); (keyboards, arranger); (bass); and Takeshi Inomata and (drums) in its varying lineups.The guys mentioned are Super stars in japan and their albums fetch big money to fans and collectors such as myself who love Jazz/Funk. His albums have always been in high demand with the jazz-Funk Crowd and collectors and comparisons with the legenday CTI label have always been made constantly. The jazz funk indemander "Samba Chimba" is here but sadly nothing on youtube as the album is quite rare still.
