Kuniyuki & Fumio Itabashi
Once Again / River
About this item
Mule Musiq take us back to the end of the noughites here with a welcome 12" edition of a couple of jazzy bombs from Kuniyuki and legendary Japanese pianist Fumio Itabashi. Previously out of reach for the vinyl purist, these two cuts were found on Kuniyuki's CD only album "Walking In The Naked City", though club kids may have grabbed the hypnotic and groovy house version of "Once Again" Kuniyuki and Henrik slayed way back when. Here we find that killer composition in full jazz mode, a triumph of tonal keys, slick guitar riffs and stunning syncopation. Over on the flip, "River", a personal favourite of Kuniyuki and Itabashi delivers drama, melody and magic in a totally dynamic arrangement. Two stunning cuts for anyone doing their thing on a jazz tip.
