Juice [LP]

Recorded in New York and first issued by RCA in 1976, Juice captures Japanese guitarist Ryo Kawasaki at his funkiest. Backed by players including Hugh McCracken and Stu Woods, he blends taut jazz-funk grooves, spacey synthesizers and early disco pulse, from the drum-break opener "Raisins" to the hazy, much-sampled "Bamboo Child." Long a favorite of crate diggers and hip-hop producers, this Mr Bongo reissue returns the album to a single vinyl LP.
