Akira Ishikawa & His Count Buffalos – African Rock (Vinyl, LP, Album, Limited Edition)

Cop the groove. Unleashed back into the wild, Japanese drummer Akira Ishikawa’s 1971 LP, African Rock. Working under the guise of a funky jazz excursion, its eclectic forty minute runtime is full of surprises. Expect a torrid medley of percussion, fat blasts of brass, inspired vocal weirdness, and searing electric guitar courtesy of MVP, Kimio Mizutani. Oh yeah, and for the Come Down room there’s even a meditative flute jam.
