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 (Volume 1: 50 titles released on April 27, Volume 2: 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), and include everything from major masterpieces to long-awaited reissues and rarities that are being released on CD for the first time. This is a collaboration between Ramsey Lewis, one of the most prolific keyboard players in the jazz world, and the super group "Earth, Wind & Fire" led by Maurice White (1974). Maurice was a member of Ramsey's band in the late 60s. The title track, featuring scat, is the ultimate mellow fusion of jazz and funk. ◆Limited Time Limited Special Price Edition (through December 31, 2017) / Liner notes / Original release date: 1974
