Akira Ishikawa races across the vast African landscape with jazz and rock as twin engines.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis album is a masterpiece in which the three core pillars of Akira Ishikawa’s musical vision—jazz, rock, and African music—are fused in a sublime and thrilling balance. One arresting track follows another: the solemn and majestic “Prayer”, evoking the eternal land; the clear yet subtly psychedelic “Dawn”; the serene and beautiful “Love”; and the highly dynamic, explosive “Jumbo”.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe brilliance of Hirmasa Suzuki’s arrangements deserves special mention—simple yet profoundly deep, they give vivid clarity to the album’s overall concept and imagery. Among Ishikawa’s serious, non–instrumental-cover works, this album stands shoulder to shoulder with Electrum, Bakishinba, and Uganda, and should be regarded as one of his definitive achievements.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eText by Yusuke Ogawa (UNIVERSOUNDS \/ DEEP JAZZ REALITY)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMade-in-Japan quality recognized worldwide.
