Japanese jazz fusion group Casiopea has been around for a minute ever since releasing their self-titled debut album in 1979. The band has gone through multiple lineup changes and released over 40 albums in their nearly 50-year career, constantly pushing the envelope of funk and jazz into the far off corners of the fusion genre. Their debut album is a varied taste of fun jazz fusion that is inspirational to listen to as a fellow musician. This isn’t something that I’d flip on every day, but it is something that makes me want to get better at my own craft.
Standout Songs: “Time Limit”, “Midnight Rendezvous”, “Tears of the Star”
