On the Move

Product Description

At last, the legendary fusion masterpiece ON THE MOVE by Jun Fukamachi returns to print. Originally recorded in New York in 1978, this iconic album captures Fukamachi stepping into the NY scene alone and creating an explosive session with some of the era’s most in-demand musicians, at the height of the global crossover boom. Long unavailable after a brief CD release in the 1980s, it is now finally revived for collectors and new listeners alike.

This edition features stunning performances from an all-star lineup including David Sanborn, Michael Brecker, Steve Gadd, Richard Tee, and Anthony Jackson, with Fukamachi’s visionary production drawing out the full power of each player. Widely regarded as a cornerstone of Japanese fusion and a gateway that introduced these New York artists to Japanese audiences, ON THE MOVE remains a must-have for fans of sophisticated jazz, fusion, and crossover sounds.
