YAKUTA - EVENING STAR (1981) OFF THE ALBUM LOVE LIGHT
A fine keyboardist who also plays koto, Yutaka Yokokura has often mixed in his Japanese heritage with his love for Brazilian music. He took classical piano lessons from the age of four, listened to pop music of the era, and at the age of 15 in the mid-'60s, he became attracted to Brazilian music. Soon Yokohura was leading his own group, mostly playing Brazilian material that was influenced by Sergio Mendez. This piece has some excellent flute and koto work. Very mellow and melodic with a mix of emotional work. Enjoy.
SIMON BENSON - YESTERYEAR (1976) OFF THE ALBUM KPM 1180 - TENDER EMOTIONS
kpm-1000 - This series in re-mastered of recorded between 1966 - 1979. Selected tracks from the series have been incorporated into CDs, both on the library and commercially, but the majority has not been heard since the industry switched from vinyl to CD in 1985. This particular track is from Simon Benson under the Tender Emotions album of the KPM series. It is very piano heavy and also a very dramatic melody to this one. i personally love this one. Listen to it or sample it, either way this is an amazing track.
