Kimiko Kasai w/Herbie Hancock - Butterfly
First ever official reissue of the positively sublime and very rareĀ ButterflyĀ LP, recorded in Tokyo in 1979 by Japanese songstress Kimiko Kasai and jazz legend Herbie Hancock.
Due to its super-rare status as a Japan-only release, this exquisite collection of covers never got the recognition it deserved at the time, despite incredibly inspired performances from Kimiko, Herbie and the supremely talented musicians assembled for the project. From heavenly drummer Alphonse Mouzon and renowned organist Webster Lewis to bassist Paul Jackson,Ā reedman Bennie Maupin and the master percussionist Bill Summers, the legendary performers crafted amazingly good vocal versionsĀ of Herbie / Headhunters jazz-funk. Unsurprisingly, it has been heavily in demand for many years.
