Description:

[Crossover & Fusion 1000] The new "Crossover & Fusion 1000" series is a spin-off of the highly successful "Jazz Collection 1000" series launched in 2014. Like the Jazz Collection 1000 series, the new "Crossover & Fusion 1000" series is carefully selected from Sony Music's extensive catalog, focusing on Columbia and RCA, the two major labels in the United States. The 100 titles (first series: 50 titles released on April 27, second series: 50 titles released on May 25) are released at the special price of 1,000 yen plus tax (1,500 yen plus tax for the 2-disc set). This is the second release by Eric Gale, a leading guitarist who supported the fusion scene in the 1970s. Eric Gale's bluesy and soulful playing is accompanied by a distinguished lineup including saxophonist Hank Crawford, who is known for his collaboration with Ray Charles. The inclusion of "Morning Glory," a song famously performed by Gentle Souls, is also a highlight of the album. ◆Limited Time Production Special Price Edition (through December 31, 2017) / Liner notes
