Toshiyuki Honda’s 1978 debut, "Burnin' Waves," stands out as a seminal jazz-funk record. As the son of a renowned Japanese jazz critic, Honda showcased his mastery on flute and sax ophone, collaborating in the 70s with George Otsuka and the Burning Waves group. Throughout the 1980s, he worked alongside Chick Corea, Tatsuya Takahashi, and Kazumi Watanabe, led the Super Quartet, and joined Native Son. This album features dynamic saxophone improvisations layered over funky basslines and vibrant keyboards, marking it as a standout fusion release in the Electric Bird catalog. Show more
