Description
This is both a blueprint and a finished masterpiece. Transcending eras and genres with ease, Terumasa Hino captivates the world.
Its sound and presence are top of the top! Long before Japanese jazz came to be known as "Wa Jazz"—and even further back, before the rare groove movement—"Hip Seagull" has continued to shake the dance floor, stimulate listeners, and captivate collectors. Terumasa Hino has remained at the forefront ever since his debut album, "Alone, Alone and Alone." While he has left behind masterpieces in every era, this 1978 recording deserves to be counted among his finest works. The album features tracks imbued with a special atmosphere, including the epic "Hip Seagull," which develops from a dreamlike intro into jazz-funk, and the mellow, cosmic "This Planet Is Ours." This is both a blueprint and a finished masterpiece. "Hip Seagull" captivates the past, the present, and the future.
