Arrival Point - Arrival Point (1980) WestWells - Rare Japanese Jazz Funk (FLAC)

Yet another one off only obscurity from Japan that is a long lost dog rare gem from the halycon Jazz/Funk era here in the uk. The brainchild of  Tsunemichi Oka. What a brilliant effort it is!..Not many tasters to choose from.

Great review. Another new one for me. Love the tasters - they show two different sides of the band. The bass work is very nice o the Theme From Three Days Of Condor. Looking forward to hearing the rest!!!
