Wamono Groove: Shakuhachi & Koto Jazz Funk ’76

Released earlier this year via the Paris based 180g, the label's Wamono Groove: Shakuhachi & Koto Jazz Funk ’76 compilation does not let up. From ultra-clean drum breaks (there are a lot of them), to its West LA Fadeaway-esque approach to Stevie Wonder's "Superstition" on Kiyoshi Yamaya & Kifu Mitsuhashi's "Sōma Nagareyama", the sets mesh of occidental groove with eastern textures is seamless . . .
