Masato Honda - SAXES STREET (2015) GRP - Japanese Jazz/Funk/Fusion (FLAC)

With 12 studio albums under his belt,this very gifted horn man who was once in super group T-Square gives us a great album with an all star line up of gifted & legendary japanese musicians. Most of his solo albums are going for big bucks these days if you can locate them. This was his last recorded solo album on Dave Grusins GRP label. As usual all tracks composed by Masato.
